THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Immigration meant 160,000 British workers missed out on jobs in the last five years, the Government’s migration expert revealed.
A Briton is “displaced” from the labour market for every four extra migrants from outside the EU that arrive in the UK, the Migration Advisory Committee (Mac) concluded.
The report is the first official examination of the impact of immigration and showed it has kept resident workers out of jobs.
Professor David Metcalf, chairman of the Mac, also criticised the use of GDP for measuring the effects of the influx of foreign nationals as “pro-immigration” because more migrants will logically expand the economy. » | Tom Whitehead, Home Affairs Editor | Tuesday, January 10, 2012
