Die Insidergeschichte hinter der Ausbildung vietnamesischer Busfahrer in Sapporo City: „Derzeit sind 70 % unserer Fahrer in den Fünfzigern und Sechzigern, und in zehn Jahren wird die Mehrheit nicht mehr da sein. Wir waren bereits gezwungen, unsere Dienstleistungen einzuschränken … egal, wie oft wir Werbung machen, wir bekommen keine (japanischen) Bewerber.“

Have they tried offering more money?
It’s not just money. Of course it’s mostly money tho. But also reputation. Japan has spent decades fostering the image that anything but white collar office work equals failing at life. That’s why everyone is obsessed with going to university. Turns out, if you keep shitting on blue collar workers, eventually nobody wants to do it anymore lol
You can’t demonise blue collar workers when your population is already failing
Offer to the people in X
there’s a seafood place near me here in Kyushu that’s suddenly become very popular with tourists, and they’ve an enormous red-letter billboard right out front saying „WE ARE RECRUITING! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION! HELP SUPPORT JAPAN!“
It’s a sad situation indeed…
just pay them more Jesus
What they actually need to do is commission a manga/anime about bus driving. Create some cute girls, spend 13 episodes on bus driving, and suddenly you’ll inspire the next generation of bus drivers.
