In message -sept ember.org, at 08:44:28 on Tue, 10 Apr 2018, Recliner remarked: Brexit could have an effect in the future if it cuts the number of EU citizens coming to work in London, but I doubt that it's had much effect yet. The only "industry" I've seen publish any figures yet is University academia, who have around 25k EU citizens employed (in teaching/ research). They have seen an alleged Brexodus effect, for example Kings College London reportedly having around 140 leave last year compared to around 100 previously. What we don't know (from these reports) is whether they've managed to up their recruitment to 140, and from where. Yes, I think more are leaving, and fewer applying, but I'm not sure if there's been an actual reduction employed. Indeed, with some people wanting to establish residency while they still can (not necessarily academics), there could even be a temporary increase in EU migrants. Until we see an Immigration Bill with various cut-off dates, and more importantly what rights will accrue to workers *and* their families, it's understandable some people will be put off taking a risk. Yes, I'm sure that's true, but others who were just considering coming may bring forward their arrival to be here before any cut-off date. Incidentally, I think the dates are now agreed (ie, we conceded to the EU's proposals), but I'm not sure if immigrants' family rights are also confirmed. |
