A Fair Playing Field

The government will soon be changing the way which migration for jobs works in the UK. The changes to the shortage occupation list will ensure that only skilled workers are coming to the UK.

The changes will still allow firms to bring in people with necessary skills, however importantly it will no longer be the case that migrant workers become the first resort to fill a wide range of available jobs.

If we are to get more people into work then it must be a combination of training, encouragement, setting a fair benefits system and ensure a fair playing field when it comes to job competition.
