Skills shortage on Island has reached 'crisis point' says Chamber of Commerce

Skills and labour shortages have reached 'crisis point for many firms.'

That's according to the Chamber of Commerce, who has written an open letter to the government due to rising costs.

Members say the impact is forcing some to turn away new business because they don't have the human resources.

Chamber wants more to be done to encourage people back into the workforce, and a 'dialling down' on immigration policy.
