"The study illustrates just how hard it would be to untangle the UK economy from an often hidden army of hundreds of thousands of people from all over the EU who have found work in Britain.
The independent research group’s findings are derived from the Labour Force Survey, which is the largest household survey in the UK and broadly representative of the country’s population.
The Migration Observatory applied the two key criteria underpinning the government’s tier-2 skilled worker visa programme for non-EU workers and applied it to the existing EU workforce in the UK. The first is that the job must be a graduate-level role, and the second is that the salary for the job must be more than £20,800.
The study also applies a new earnings threshold of £30,000 the government plans to introduce for most non-EU workers in April 2017.
While the data provide an understanding of the number of EU citizens living and working in the UK, the study does not give information on the flow of workers in and out of the country.
Most EU migrant workers would not fit the criteria for non-EU rules. My son's partner is very worried. She has two jobs in education. Part as a teacher and part as a TA. she has been offered full time TA, but cannot afford to take it in case it makes her not wanted. A teacher is needed more.
