After the FIFA World Cup, migrant workers find themselves in a bit of a pickle - jobs are about as common as snow in the desert.

So, The Guardian's report suggests that quite a few of the impacted employees hail from West Africa and have been dialing up their folks back home to get some dough to keep them afloat as they search for gigs that'll aid them in paying back their loans.

According to a Guinean employee currently residing in Qatar, he said “I haven’t eaten in two days,” As per a report published in The Guardian, migrant workers residing in Qatar are facing difficulty in securing employment just a little over 100 days after the end of the Fifa World Cup.

One of the workers has shared that he has been seeking financial assistance from his acquaintances back in his homeland. Individuals with "free visas" - a group whom The Guardian has been in communication with - have been unable to secure employment for several months.
