Like anywhere else, if government wants to improve employment situation further it will come down to investing in education and training
Trying to put limits on who business can hire is self defeating – there is already a big barrier to recruiting expats (uproot your family and move to an island in the Atlantic) and it’s not done lightly. It comes at great cost and local talent is naturally the first place to look – hence to improve local employment prospects government should invest in local education and skills

Also don’t forget, just like any visitor to the island, every new work permit is also a new long term consumer for local businesses
