UK visa bureaucracy vs shortage of skilled workers for jobs
Manage episode 432097013 series 2548988
A report by recruitment firm Hays suggests the United Kingdom faces a shortage of skilled workers for in-demand job sectors, including technology, manufacturing and banking.
But, paradoxically, it comes amid growing concerns about the impact of immigration rule changes around the Skilled Worker Visa salary threshold for foreign workers and their families - which rose from £26,200 to £38,700 in April.
Evening Standard social editor Deeya Sonalkar describes her experiences navigating the Home Office's labyrinthine visa system, and our business editor Jonathan Prynn discusses the economic implications.
In part two, the Evening Standard has got you covered for this summer's top free art shows, and acting culture editor Nick Clark has the highlights.
