Over three-quarters (78%) of Czechs believe that cheap foreign manpower can deprive nationals of jobs and should be further regulated, reports Czech News Agency ČTK.

This is according to a poll of 1,000 Czechs conducted by public researchers CVVM, which finds that this attitude has remained steady over the past 10 years.

Two-thirds of those questioned believe that foreigners should only be offered jobs in the sectors in which nationals show little or no interest in working.

Also, 20% believe foreigners’ employment should be limited in the areas hit by high unemployment.
