In Britain foreigners take 2 out of 3 new jobs: 200k vacancies filled by those born overseas - by Steve Doughty

Just a third of all jobs created last year went to British-born workers, official figures indicate.

They show that only 100,000 of the 297,000 workers who began new posts between July and September 2010 were native Britons.

Of the rest, 90,000 were born in Poland and other Eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004, and the remainder were born elsewhere in the world.

Note EU-Digest: If the majority of people chosen to fill vacant jobs in a country are foreign born citizens it shows they are either better qualified than local born citizens, or that the hiring system is flawed. Obviously the latter is very unlikely in a Democratic society like Britain. So maybe the British should look at their own educational system for answers? Anti-immigration rhetoric or policies only means shooting yourself in the foot.
