Answer

Are local councils in Mallorca doing anything to solve the labour shortage?

Yes, some local councils and organisations in Mallorca are already trying practical steps such as subsidised accommodation, apprenticeship support and cooperation between schools and businesses. A few municipalities have also started prioritising vacant housing for workers in essential jobs. These local measures do not solve everything, but they can make a real difference quickly.
