Recently, I learned from tick net to protect British native workers.

Obtain employment

Opportunity, the United Kingdom recently announced the latest "shortage occupation list" (list), plans to reduce about 270 thousand non EU technology migrants.

The main immigration advisory body of the government will further examine the existing shortage industry to determine whether the list should be adjusted or deleted.

The move stems from a persistent rise in the unemployment rate in the UK, especially among graduates, which has raised concerns about the need for immigrants to fill their labour jobs.

It is reported that the list of "shortage industries" mainly includes the types of work that British and European Union workers can not fill, so that employers can easily attract workers from outside the EU and fill them.

position

Vacancies do not need to be advertised in the country.

At present, about 500 thousand people are engaged in this kind of shortage industry, most of them are British nationality.

But in the new

policy

After the announcement, the figure is expected to drop to 230 thousand.

Earlier, the new measures adopted by the British government restricted the non EU immigrants to apply for technical jobs only for graduates or equal positions. This means that senior nursing workers, plumbing welders, professional meat cutters and sheared workers will no longer be open to skilled labour outside the European Union.

Besides, foreign chefs must have more than 5 years of work experience, earn more than 28 thousand pounds a year, and are not allowed to work in the UK without being employed in any takeaway shops.

The Immigration Department said the changes in the list of shortages will ensure that non EU immigrants working in the UK are truly high-tech workers.

The government is determined to promote employment and provide the skilled labor needed for the business sector, but at the same time further reduce the number of immigrants.

It is reported that the new policy will affect at least five thousand immigrants each year. This is part of the plan proposed by the coalition government to reduce net migration from about 200 thousand to 100 thousand in 2015.

In Britain, the unemployment rate increased by more than 40 thousand in the last quarter of 2010 to 2 million 490 thousand, and the youth unemployment rate reached a record high. Nearly 1 million of the middle school students and college students could not find jobs after graduation.
