| I am sorry I think my post has got lost. Reducing the number of permits in Switzerland is a good thing because it will encourage companies to seek people more locally;
In the last company I worked for they almost the entire department was staffed by L permit registered short term (1 year, consultants). No attempt was being made to source local skills at all.
Reducing the permit quota available will make more jobs available to more locals. | |

Your solution would require a company to hire a, perhaps, underqualified candidate who didn't have up-to-date skills. However, their proximity would make them competitive even if their skills didn't. Just doesn't make sense.
And what is a local? When does it stop? Wouldn't the enivitable happen and when your permit came to it's renewal date, you would be sent packing since you are no longer a "local."
Such protectionism only serves to reduce competitiveness and eventually dilute the quality of the workforce - cause "locals" don't have to stay competitive - they just need to be here.
