It doesn't change the fact that using "Holland" to refer to the country is antiquated and incorrect. The official name is the Netherlands.

You also don’t call the United Kingdom, England, do you 😊? This is more or less the same situation.
True as that may be... how does that mean that the job market in
Holland is not tight, and how does that not impact the major airport that happens to be located
smack dab in the middle of Holland?
OK, maybe Randstad would be more all-encompassing as I am sure many airport workers commute from Provincie Utrecht and no doubt a sizeable number also from the southwestern end of Flevoland, but the fact remains, Schiphol
is in
Holland. And the situation it finds itself in is only
very tangentially related to job market in Maastricht, which, while undoubtedly being in
The Netherlands, is
very far from Holland indeed.
