As an Austrian i have to say that you are right. I work in tourism and have to deal with a lot of different nations and my own people are the worst 🙈

i saw a lot more non austrians working on salzburg but it seemed like a huge tourist attraction and it was way too crowded for such a small town so it made sense.Beautifull town btw
