Here in Norway it seems to be a combination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers couldn't get their usual seasonal workers from other countries and it was touted as a great thing for the young generation as they could now "finally" get a summer job again.
Well, turned out a lot of the young generation didn't like the hours or the pay, and if they dud show up on time they worked at a fraction of the speed of the usual "imported" workers.
Was quite a bit of ruckus in the news about this, as farmers failed to get their crops harvested.
Not that I would have done much better, it's fairly brutal, monotonous work.
