Simmering crisis getting worse in EU

A side from the worsening sovereign debt turbulence, European politicians are facing another crisis, the shortage of jobs for youths.
I met Peter, a 23-aged Romanian driver and his older brother in downtown Brussels when I waited at the roadside for my rescue company to come and fix my flat tire. Seeing me, they stopped their truck and asked whether I was in need of help.
While changing the tire, they said they had been working in Greece for five years until the debt crisis hit the economy. Now they share a job as truck driver for a grocery owned by a Romanian woman in Brussels. But they have no contract and the pay is low.
