    How is this a good thing for EU citizens? Are there lots of these jobs now in need of workers that is not available? Or will many EU workers loose their jobs as firms shift to cheap immigrant workers?

      Yes, very much so, practically on every level.

      The economy adapts to the supply of workers, and as the UK found out after brexit, if you restrict the supply of workers the work generally goes away.

      They had produce rotting in the fields because they couldn’t find workers and the locals weren’t interested in that kind of work. Raising salaries wasn’t an option because consumers weren’t interested in paying more. Economics is fun, isn’t it?
