by carloqchonestly i dont think slappin a tax on employers fixs anything. if a compnay needs people with skills they'll pay it or just pass the cost on. feels like another populist soundbite instead of actually investin in training and making britain attractive so ppl stay. blaming migrants aint gonna solve low productivity. my two cents tho
They want them because they are cheap, not because they have skills. Most of them that come across aren't skilled by any definition of the word. According to government data most legal immigrants are in the bottom two quintiles of income. Which means not only are they in unskilled jobs but they are also a net loss to the country according to the OBR.
