UK renews visa privileges to Syrian nationals
1 in 10 jobs have been taken by Romanians and Bulgarians during the past year (2013). And, the percentage increase in the number of Romanians and Bulgarians among the working populace rose by 40% (up until now).
During
the last three months of the previous year, just before the restrictions on
immigration were removed, about 144,000 people who were born either in Romanian
or Bulgaria, were working in Britain. Out of the 424,503 jobs created during
the previous year, they have taken 41,670 jobs.
As
per the statistics provided by the Office for National Statistics, the number
of unemployed fell to 2.3 million. Between October and December, the wages rose
by 1%, which is considered to be significantly lower when compared to the
inflation level. Effective January 1, 2014, the restrictions laid on the
migrants of Romania and Bulgaria were removed and this has given them the
ability to come to Britain for work and claim benefits.
Migration
Watch UK campaigns to have more rigid immigration laws. Sir Andrew Green who is
its chairman said that as per the latest figures, there has been a substantial
increase of workers from Bulgaria and Romania. The latest figures refer to the
time when they had restrictions on immigration.
In
an attempt made to suppress the anxiety of the people, the government has made
an announcement that the immigrants of European Union have to wait for at least
3 months to claim their benefits.
As
per the Home Office report, which was published on Wednesday, it was seen and
was evident for the very first time in the decade that more British workers
have taken low skilled jobs as compared to the overseas workers. However, it
was found that the trend has reversed during last year.
Till
last year, Romanians and Bulgarians could come to Britain only if an employer
had offered them a job and supported a visa, or if they were self-employed or had
come here on a temporary basis to fill some jobs related to fruit picking or
any agriculture-based work.
The
number of migrant workers coming from Eastern Europe has reached 728,000 by the
end of the previous year. Year on year, there has been a rise of 8%.
