A recent survey of UK business asked the question, "What reasons do you have for employing migrant workers"? The answer was good news for EU citizens who want to come and work in the UK and bad news for young British people looking for work. About 20 per cent of employers think that migrant workers are more productive and have a more positive attitude to work than British workers. In addition, 25 per cent of businesses can't find British workers with the necessary skills, and almost 20 per cent can't find people with the right experience. One hotel manager said. "If I had a choice between a local person and an EU migrant, I would always choose the migrant worker. In my experience, they work harder and have better skills."
The UK is a popular destination for skilled workers and graduates from countries like Poland and the Czech Republic. Many work in agriculture or the tourism industry, or in small business in the financial services and technology sectors. Some come to earn more money while others are looking for experience they can't get at home. Artur, from Poland, says, "I work for an IT company and I would never get this level of experience at home. But I spent six months as a painter when I first arrived; If I repeated the experience, would try to find a good job first". Jakub, from the Czech Republic, said, "I was sure I would find work quickly, and I did. The money is quite good, but if my English was better, I would have more opportunities for promotion. So now I'm studyingAgain.”
Ralph Bowles, the director of an international PR agency, says, "We have several European graduates working here, and I would happily employ more if they had the skills we need. We decided to hire graduates from outside Britain because it was difficult to find good UK people."
The survey asked companies if they would employ migrant workers.
