Buy an excavator

    "There is a shortage of labor, but this is not a simple question. Very often we discuss productivity in Lithuania and employers like to say that productivity in Lithuania is very low." But we still have to face the truth - in terms of the number of working hours, Lithuania is definitely not at the end of the EU table. This means that people in Lithuania work a lot. The other question is whether there are enough tools, technologies and processes for people to create more products during their working hours," - said I. Šimonytė.

    “You can hire three people with a shovel, and you can hire one with an excavator. True, this requires the purchase of an excavator. This is probably the price of choice. The government is ready and yesterday we discussed this with the Business Council, we will look for rational solutions. But it will definitely not be such solutions that will allow maintaining a low level of wages simply because someone does not want to invest in technology," - said I. Šimonytė."
