A well-functioning labour market that ensures fair and equal treatment and pays for workers is one of the cornerstones of achieving economic growth based on the growth of innovations. The long-term sustainability of a healthy labour market should therefore be a priority for every EU country and for the EU as a unit. Nevertheless, the upcoming workforce crisis (the lack of employees not only in the case of EU countries, i.e., in the Czech Republic, Germany but also in the USA, Canada) causes a tendency to deflect from the ideal state of a long-term sustainable labour market. For instance, in the case of labour migration, a level playing field and fair remuneration are not always ensured. It is also possible to observe many negative factors that undermine the potential of a long-term sustainable labour market in the EU. The problem is crucial not only for employees and employers but also for the individual states, which are forced to address the effects of labour market failures. For instance, in the form of providing social security, reskilling, or upskilling for workers from abroad who lose their jobs and become unemployed. Therefore, the paper aims to point out the current problems in the labour market and to define recommendations that would help stabilize the labour market to the satisfaction of all stakeholders (employees, employers, and government).
