What a surprise that people aren't jumping on this job opportunity.

I’ve been tweeting about this since last year, but I think the shortage of skillful nuclear workers is becoming real. Especially Fukushima workers can’t get the next job because they have exceeded the yearly dose limit, more and more sub-contract companies will have to be closed. Actually some of the nuclear workers and sub-contract companies are struggling to continue working.

やっぱ1Fの収束作業に従事している二次以下の下請け企業はどこの会社も人集めに苦労してるみたいでし。事故当初のような高額手当て？も今はないし、ともすれば除染作業より安い作業員もいるでし。東電や元請け一次企業は楽観視してるような気がするんだけど…。
