    "In early January 2022, I spoke to workers in the Portes du Soleil region"

    Ok, let's see these workers I'm sure this will be focused on those with the most to lose from circumstances:

    "A business owner in the French resort of Avoriaz described..."

    "A chalet host claimed..."

    "One restaurant manager from the resort of Chatel (France) told me..."

    "An estate agent in the resort of Morzine explained..."

    "A chalet manager in the neighbouring resort of Les Gets also described..."

    "As one owner explained..."

    "Nicolas Rubin, the mayor of Chatel, was so exasperated..."

    And then finally:

    "As one barman commented to me..."

    Seasonal work in those places is awful, servents for the modern day Grand Tour. But you can make money on tips if you're willing to deal with poshos.

    edit; tbf i should mention chalet hosting is basically chef + domestic assisstant + entertainer so not so bad
