It’s like that in many countries, also in EU. Average age of a nurse is rising, richer countries rescue themselves by importing workforce, because they can’t find workers for the rates they have budgeted at home.

It’s is like that in other professions too if it’s only the tech that gets compensated well. There is a shortage of skilled labour.

Errata: there's a shortage of skilled labour for these working conditions. Said budgeting is not set in stone, and as long nurses and whatever else professions can vote with their feet (by leaving the profession) no amount of politics-led finger-pointing can replace a real-world change in the healthcare policies.
