    Immigration from outside the EU is linked to UK jobless

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16484918
    The government's official advisers on migration say there is a link between immigration from outside the European Union and job losses among UK workers.
    The Migration Advisory Committee said there were 23 fewer jobs for UK worker for 100 migrants from outside the EU.
    But a separate report from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) says immigration from the EU has had little impact.
    It follows Migrationwatch UK saying there was probably a link.
    It said 600,000 migrants had come in while 450,000 youths were unemployed.
    Migrationwatch UK said it would be a "remarkable coincidence" if those two figures were not linked.
    Now the Migration Advisory Committee said for every additional 100 non-EU migrants in the UK the jobs of 23 native workers were "displaced".

    I wonder what the figures for Ireland would be.

    PS: in before the "dey duk oor jabs! :rolleyes:

    Are these 23 people displaced by every 100 looking or applying for these jobs?
