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.

You may of course be confused by the number of second generation
immigrants working in IT - Brits of course. And like I said, the
proportion in London is higher than the rest of the country, so you
can't extrapolate from the place(s) where you happen to work.
