Where And Why Have All The Job Seekers Gone?
Where And Why Have All The Job Seekers Gone?
If you have wondered in recent times why there are not the numbers of European domestic staff looking for jobs in the UK, perhaps we can shed some light on the issue.
The results of an international survey now show that the perception of the UK as a country where overseas workers can thrive has taken a major hit. The survey was carried out by the Lausanne, Switzerland-based Institute for Management Development.
It publishes a ranking of countries according to their attractiveness to people who potentially would like to work abroad each year.
In this year’s table the UK has fallen seven places, to 28th out of 63 countries, ranking behind countries such as Latvia, Cyprus, Estonia and Slovenia.
Professor Arturo Bris, director of the IMD world competitiveness centre, said that the UK was increasingly being avoided by overseas workers because of concerns about the quality of life in the country, fed by political fragmentation and economic problems, brought on in part by Brexit.
Last month, the Office for National Statistics in the UK announced that immigration into the country had hit a new high. But relatively few workers were from EU countries; the majority coming from Asia and Africa.
