Gujalls,
You make it sound like we are fighting for our lives in the UK!
Please remember that such statistics are meant for the entire population and not for highly skilled workers, so dont read too much into those figures. Even during the normal economic times, people used to have only temporary work and daily rate jobs which are not easy to find during the recession. As a result, all such workers, depend on the state benefits.
How many skilled workers go to France, Spain, Italy, Germany etc? Compared to them, UK attracts the most immigrant population and no wonder it will be the worst affected. Bigger the economy, higher the impact!!!
All of us working out here find no difference between now and 2 years back. Our jobs are good, life's great and comfy and UK is a nice place to live compared to so many others.
Cheers
KP
