Yes it is a good paper.

Banker's as we all know are in it for themselves the majority of the time. But banker's don't pay workers. Businesses pay workers. And it's businesses that have taken advantage of the cheap labour which has flooded in over the years. For example, the construction industry with European workers.

I regularly visit construction sites and the majority of workers are from European contract agency's.

I have no idea what they are paid but I can be fairly sure when the margins in construction can be between 0.5-1.5% in profit there's no question whether you'll hire European over British workers.

Predominantly because Europeans are more productive which makes it a far better deal.

It's a tough one really, but if there is no European labour I guess it's back to British labour.

In my occupation alone we haven't been able to hire anyone for almost 3 years due to the shortage in experienced and qualified professionals with MEP design. This has resulted in our wages rising 15-20%.

Supply and demand I guess.
