It's a very rich country, but it doesn't have enough workers.

Andorra, despite officially limiting immigration, urgently needs workers in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, and transportation. The country faces a significant labor shortage, particularly in roles like waitstaff, housekeeping staff, chefs, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and bus drivers. In 2026, the government had to increase work permit quotas for foreign workers due to local residents showing little interest in these jobs. This has created opportunities for qualified individuals seeking stable employment in a well-regulated environment. The situation highlights how small, wealthy nations rely on foreign labor to maintain their high standard of living and public services.
