In France, you can hire a SQL coder straight from Zimbabwe, South Korea, Venezuela or any other place on earth without a problem. The laws are in place and the EU has nothing to do with it.

No, you need to get annoying VISA for them because they are not European. It's not that easy.
We'll ignore for a minute that there is no shortage of SQL coder so it's really not warranted to recruiter from that far away. Unless it's a consulting company that tricks them to get minimum wage and resell them for more to make a profit.
We'll also ignore that they don't speak French.
It's not a good example. Technical people are in demand basically everywhere. Think about manual labour.

Technical people are really NOT in demand everywhere.
There are only a few cities with a couple of jobs for them. The USA has stuff in SF/NY mostly. France has some stuff in Paris. That's about it.
Replace Austria with Australia in your post, and reconsider the truth value of your EU==Labor Mobility equation ok?
Australian here: entry into EU area is a huge plus for jobs in Europe. Australian passports can use Schengen simplified entry and exit borders.
We aren't part of EU, but the EU is a very appealing place to work.
If you want your business to succeed, you better have a free and open labor pool.
This is why economies grow with open borders, because it's more labor efficient.

Or did you think labor was a commodity? And that anyone can do anyone else's job?
