Home Office announce “new” controls to protect British jobs
By Charles Kelly
12 September 2009
The British government is to introduce a raft of new measures, including raising the minimum salary for a skilled worker to £20,000, to ensure that resident workers can have every opportunity to fill vacancies before they are offered to workers abroad, the Home Secretary announced this week
The government has accepted the recommendations made last month by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to tighten up the rules controlling when skilled workers are allowed to take jobs in the under the points-based system.
From next year all jobs must be advertised to British workers in Jobcentre Plus for four weeks - extended from two weeks - before companies can seek to employ non EU/EEA individuals.
But are these measures really new or just a rehash of old ideas? And can Prime Minister Gordon Brown really protect jobs for British workers?

Well, as I see it, the British Government is SUPPOSEDLY charged with at least a certain amount of responsibility for protecting the interests of UK citzens in the Jobs Market. And fair enough!
But having said that, the new ruling isn't going to make things any easier for people like my wife ... who, disappointingly, finds herself 'twixt the devil and the deep blue sea'; on the one hand ... according to the EIS ... she's "under-qualified" to teach here ... despite being the holder of a BSc in Agriculture and having taught in the Phils for 22 years. On the other, she's deemed to be "over-qualified" for non-graduate employment.
In an ideal world, *someone in HER position would simply walk into a similar post at the likes of Perth College ... the entrance to which is located a mere couple of hundred yards from our home. But, of course, Thatcher's decree [back in the '80s] that all jobs MUST BE ADVERTISED, put the kywash on *THAT idea!

Do I detect a note of cynicism here, Katy? Because, if so, it has to be said that there are MANY non-Europeans - particularly Filipinos - who are more than willing to work a sight harder than their British counterparts ... for a lot less money!
And yes, some [NOT all] is sent home ... but surely this practice says a great deal for their concept of family values.

They have created a balance of people who will sit on ass on benefit, because of working tax credit, lone parents get the rent paid for them free, school meals, council tax, so getting out of the benefit trap, why should they?
Example of
One person one child
Yearly income =£5,000
Tax/NI bill =£0
Tax credit/Child benefit =£7,913
Total income =£12,913
I have more figures about couple one working with 2 children and others if you want to see those.It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.
