Labor productivity deficit in Greece Greece ranks last among European states and keeps deteriorating, according to OECD data
Labor productivity in Greece is about a third lower than the average of its member-states, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said last week.
The details, as revealed by the special chapter of its annual Economic Outlook report, on Greece, are even more disappointing: Not only is productivity low, but it has fallen slightly in recent years. In addition, Greece ranks last in terms of productivity levels among European OECD members and fourth from bottom among OECD member-countries overall. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1238382/labor-productivity-deficit-in-greece/

Greece to bring in Egyptian farm workers amid labor shortage
Greece will start bringing in workers from Egypt this summer to take on temporary farming jobs under a deal between the countries to tackle a labor shortage, the Migration Ministry said on Friday.
After a decade of pain, the Greek economy is forecast to grow nearly 3% this year, far outpacing the eurozone average of 0.8%.
But an exodus of workers during Greece’s economic crisis, a shrinking population and strict migration rules have left the country struggling to find tens of thousands of workers to fill vacancies in farming, tourism, construction and other sectors.
Greece will take in around 5,000 seasonal farm workers under the 2022 deal signed with Egypt. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1238407/greece-to-bring-in-egyptian-farm-workers-amid-labor-shortage/

Greece: Adverse weather forecast across much of the country through at least May 10 Severe weather forecast across much of Greece through at least May 10. Disruptions to transport, business, and utilities possible.
Authorities will likely issue new alerts or update/rescind existing advisories as weather conditions change over the coming days.
Sustained heavy rainfall could trigger flooding in low-lying communities near rivers, streams, and creeks. Urban flooding is also possible in developed areas with easily overwhelmed stormwater drainage systems. Sites downstream from large reservoirs or rivers may be subject to flash flooding after relatively short periods of intense rainfall. Landslides are possible in hilly or mountainous areas, especially where heavy rain has saturated the soil.
Authorities could issue mandatory evacuation orders for flood-prone communities over the coming days. https://crisis24.garda.com/alerts/2024/05/greece-adverse-weather-forecast-across-much-of-the-country-through-at-least-may-10Forecast for Kef not too bad
