ONS statistics on employment by country of birth & nationality

February 19, 2019

Commenting, Lord Green of Deddington, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: 

The increase in UK-born workers of 350,000 is good news but there are still some four million UK-born who are either looking for work or would like more hours of work. This is a resource that can and should be tapped.

Note to editors

• The number of non-UK born workers continues at near record levels, with an increase of 83,000 compared the previous year. See the ONS bulletin.
