More eastern Europeans are working in Holland

Some 100,000 people from eastern Europe were working in the Netherlands in March, up 12,000 on a year ago, according to the national statistics office CBS.


That number is expected to grow further this summer, as Polish and other workers come to the country do seasonal farm work.
Poles account for four of of five eastern European workers and most are in their 20s and 30s, the CBS said.
Some 50% are employed on a temporary contract.
