Is emigration a bigger risk than immigration
Some recent research, which we take with a pinch of salt, suggests that over 7.5 million workers in the UK may be willing to work abroad in the search for a better life. This represents over a quarter of the workforce. A significant proportion of those cheesed off with the current situation are young people and understandably so, since prospects for young people have never been so poor. The research was undertaken by GFK International, a serious organization, so the figures are not a joke, although in reality, they probably represent a high degree of frustration with the current economic conditions.
The research also suggests that up to 6.5 million people would like to change their jobs in the next year. A huge figure but nothing hugely surprising there with long term jobs now the exception rather than the norm.
