ONS labour market statistics by country of birth and nationality

Commenting, Alp Mehmet, Vice Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:

The number of workers born outside the UK is now at a record 5.8 million, with the numbers of both EU and non-EU workers hitting new highs. As parliament dithers over Brexit and public trust in politicians reaches a new low, the government must start to rebuild the faith of voters by taking serious steps to reduce immigration by a significant amount.
