In this episode we take a look at the invisible labour market: the jobs that people in Northern countries don’t want to do, and that are mostly done by migrant workers. They collect items in the warehouse when customers order them online, they pick fruits and vegetables, they pack the meat that is bought at the supermarket. And yet most people don’t really see them, how they work and where they live. It’s a world of low-wages, work agencies, zero-hour contracts and housing on campsites. For this podcast I talked to David, a young migrant from Portugal living in the Netherlands.
