Immigration has no effect on UK jobless!

[ferno]

In 2004 when Poland acceded to the EU we had over a million unemployed. Upwards of half a million Poles came here and found work. What does that tell you?

The Centre for Economics and Business Research calculates that the average Polish migrant worker earns £20,000 per year, of which £6,000–7,000 is disposable income. With exact numbers of immigrants being unknown, the CEBR estimates spending power for this immigrant group to be somewhere between £3.5 and £4 billion.

 

Doug McWilliams, chief executive of the CEBR, remarks:

It’s basically been like adding the consumer demand of Liverpool to the economy in just two years. These people work hard, often 10-hour days, six days a week, so they certainly do have considerable spending power.

 

They do indeed have spending power – spending power that businesses interested in potential new markets would be wise not to ignore.

 

The potential for increases in the immigrant worker class’ spending power and consumer demand appears to be almost unlimited and those expecting slowdowns in the near future might well do better than to hold their breath.

 

While on other fronts increased immigration is a controversial topic, economically the British government can have little cause for complaint.

 

 

Eastern Europeans have plugged holes in sectors short of labour, helping to keep inflation down, and in the relatively liberal open-market economy of the UK, the extra labour has been an easily absorbed asset.

 

The minimal effect being had on unemployment as a result of immigration in the UK has disproved the theory that there are a finite number of jobs in the labour market and that the immigrant’s gain is the Brits’ loss.

 

Though registered unemployment has crept up recently the government argues that this is not due to the economy failing to create jobs.

 

Indeed, the number of job vacancies remain high and the overall job market continues to expand.

 

From an economic point of view, the fact remains that while almost all immigrant workers in the UK have found full-time employment, the non-migrant unemployment rate has remained steady – proving that immigrants are helping to fuel economic growth rather than undercut British workers in the labour market and steal their jobs.

According to the Ernst & Young Item Club, Polish and other Eastern European immigrants are having a positive economic impact by making the UK workforce ‘younger, more flexible and economical, easing the pensions burden and keeping interest rates lower’. This not only helps to keep mortgages down but has also been responsible for boosting what was an otherwise waning buy-to-let market.

 

The influx of workers needing instant accommodation has resulted in massive increases in cash advances being given for buy-to-let purchases with, in some company cases, figures doubling between 2005 and 2006.

 

With so many economic positives, the trend for Eastern European migrants seeking work in the UK is unlikely to slow any time soon.

 

 

End quote.

 

Eastern European immigration has brought huge benefits, both financial and social. Poles are like English people were in the fifties, if an elderly Polish woman gets on a tram in Poland and tells teenagers to move and let her sit down they do so. Try that in Sheffield.

Remembering of cause the figures don't include the jobs lost to other EU citizens and the fact that there were already a huge number of non working British citizens.

 

And that Labour sent all the money.

 

Lots of Europeans have returned home since the crash

that they were exploited by unscrupless bosses to work all hours/having no rights/made to sleep in overcrowded houses/and yes you want that for our own workforce

Don't be so stupid,of course I don't want that , what n idiotic thing to say.

 

How many Poles were exploited, forced to sleep in crowded houses and had no rights, any actual figures or did you make it up?

Lots of Europeans have returned home since the crash

 

And lots more are still arriving.

Net migration rose by 21% last year, with 239,000 more people arriving in the UK than those leaving, the Office for National Statistics has revealed.

 

The UK economy may still be in the doldrums, but according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), net migration to the UK from Poland is on the up again, and Poles are now the biggest group of foreign nationals in the UK.

Indeed, Poland has the only EU economy that is growing!

POLES working abroad sent home a total of £4 billion last year, providing an unexpected boost to the economy, a Polish government official said yesterday.

 

Yes they have the spending power but much of it is sent back to Poland.
