UK is facing an uphill battle to attract foreign skilled workers
Of all the clicks on British job postings from workers abroad, only a fifth were on high-wage jobs, or postings offering the upper third of wages, according to data covering the first six months of the year from job-search website Indeed. Only Spain had a smaller proportion among 10 advanced economies analysed.
Foreigners have a strong urge to work in the UK but they are not the kind of workers the government wants. The lowest-paid jobs attracted 40% of clicks from abroad, casting doubt over the Conservatives’ policies to discourage low-skill migration.
The relatively low level of interest from better qualified foreigners poses a challenge for the new Labour government’s ambition to cement Britain at the top of the Group of Seven growth league.

Migration is a top issue for voters and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised to reduce the need for foreign labor by improving the training of British workers. But with some of the most productive sectors such as IT and engineering continuing to experience staff shortages, Labour is eager not to obstruct their ability to bring in talent from abroad.
