4 out of 5 jobs go to immigrants: the report that embarrasses the European power

A new report in the UK reveals that four out of every five jobs added since 2014 have been filled by immigrants, while millions of Britons remain dependent on welfare benefits. The study criticizes immigration policy and warns of the long-term economic cost. The UK government responded that the majority of the workforce consists of local citizens and that a skills-based immigration system is in place.

A new report in the UK reveals an embarrassing statistic for the European power: four out of every five jobs added to the British economy since 2014 have been filled by immigrants. Meanwhile, millions of Britons remain dependent on welfare benefits. The study points to a sharp increase in immigration since 2020, a period dubbed the 'Boris wave,' during which nearly four million immigrants received work or study visas. It also shows a dramatic increase of 2.3 million Britons supported by out-of-work benefits, and annual spending on working-age benefits has risen by £50 billion in real terms since the 2019-2020 season. The UK government responded that the majority of the workforce consists of local citizens, and that a skills-based immigration system is being implemented to prioritize British workers while addressing the needs of the economy. It also stated that the government is promoting welfare reforms, including investment in creating one million job opportunities for young people and assistance for integrating people with disabilities.
