Employment Minister Mette Frederiksen said there could be a need to reform the \u2018green card\u2019 scheme, which was introduced in the \u201800\u2019s\u2019 when there was a lack of skilled manpower, but is today the only way for non-EU immigrants to gain residency in Denmark without a job.<\/p>\n<h2>Nothing wrong<\/h2>\n<p>Top business leaders are divided on the green card issue \u2013 Flemming Poulsen, head of energy company NOE Net, warned that skilled foreign workers could be scared off if the rules are tightened, and he can see nothing wrong with foreigners having to work below their education level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest problem is when foreigners come here and can\u2019t support themselves, not if they are forced to take unskilled jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Article<a href=\"http:\/\/www.business.dk\/arbejdsmarked\/udenlandske-akademikere-ender-som-opvaskere\" target=\"_blank\"> in Danish here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk <\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
