Maltese Say It’s Ok To Have Foreign Workers Do Unwanted Jobs

Jun 6 2025

A new State of the Nation survey shows that many people in Malta are still not fully comfortable with people from different countries living and working here.

When asked how they feel about different cultures mixing in Malta, most people gave a score that was below the halfway point. This shows that many are still unsure or not very comfortable.

The results have stayed about the same as last year.

Experts say this could be because the number of foreign workers in Malta has gone up a lot in recent years. Some people are finding it hard to accept how quickly things are changing.

But there is one thing many agree on.

According to the survey, 58.0% of Maltese people support bringing in foreign workers for certain jobs that locals are unwilling to do. A smaller share, 30.8%, are against the idea, while 11.2% said they don’t know how they feel about it.

So what does this mean for Malta? The country is changing, and the workplace is changing too. While some people are open to living and working with different cultures, others remain unsure.

As more people from different backgrounds move to Malta, the big question is this: Will we learn to live together, or will the divide grow bigger?

Maltese Say They Want More Money, Not More Hugs At Work

Jun 6 2025

Getting paid well is still the number one thing Maltese people care about at work.

The results come from the State of the Nation 2025 report, which asked people to rank different parts of their job from most important (1) to least important (5).

Here’s what they said:

👉 Pay (Income) came first again in 2025, just like in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

👉 Job satisfaction was second most important — people want to feel good about what they do.

👉 Job security stayed in third place, showing that people still want to feel safe in their roles.

👉 Flexibility and feeling appreciated were less important, but still mattered to some.

Pay was always in the top spot across the years. Feeling appreciated at work was always the least important, while flexibility and job security stayed in the middle.

So What Does This Mean?

Maltese workers want good money first, then want to enjoy their work, and finally feel secure in their jobs. Fancy extras or sweet words don’t beat a solid pay check.

Employers, take note!

Even though she came bearing bad news, leading to the elimination of Daniel and Edera from the villa, Giselle once again absolutely ‘slayed’ her entry.
