I've never ever met a single cleaning staff that wasn't foreigner, and I lived both in Lausanne and Zurich.

Low paying jobs are predominantly staffed by foreigners. Swiss youth has a huge array of opportunities even without education, let alone many interesting tricks to not work a lot and still make money.





> "many interesting tricks to not work a lot and still make money."

As someone not very familiar with Switzerland I'm curious what you mean by this, as I assume from your wording you don't simply mean generous benefits available to unemployed and low wage people?


Swiss government covers between 100 and 80% of your salary for two years if you lose your job.

So many swiss play the "get hired and try to get fired asap to go on a two years sabbatical".


Thanks
