nationals, there are a lot of regional variations. To be fair the number
in London is higher than average - but most are in minimum wage jobs.
Just 3.2% in IT or telecoms jobs.


I'd be interested to see their definition of IT because my experience is
vastly different.


As most of the rest are patently minimum wage cleaning (etc) jobs, your
interest is misplaced.


The statement that only 3.2% of workers in IT are foreign nationals is
farcical.

They always have the option of going native and getting a passport of their
country of residence. Since they seem to believe life is better than in the UK
one has to wonder why they don't just do that anyway unless its simply to be
able to fly back and get free NHS treatment or some equally cynical reason.


What amounts to freelancers will work wherever the cost-benefit is in
their favour. Brexit removes most of the benefits.


Tough. The future of this country is more important than some itinerants making
a killing abroad.
