## Resource

Many European economies are in decline, struggling with job shortages in critical sectors. At the same time, these same countries are locking qualified migrants out of work. Our 18 month long investigation sought to find out why this is the case, the cost of this discrimination and what can be done to fix it. Beatriz and Tessa are joined by two Justin’s from the investigation – reporter Justin Yarga and data reporter Justin Casimir Braun.
