EU migrants without a job make up city the size of Bristol

Doesn't economically inacitve include stay-at-home mums and dads?

Dont worry folks just another leaver who has not realised that we have not left yet and does not understand the huge impact tariffs will have , freedom of movement of skilled and unskilled staff on employees just packing up and going abroad, drop in investment as lets face it most companies invest here because they have access to a 2 trillion Euro market , loss of banking , car manufacturing and aerospace jobs as they require free movement of parts and services stop and not to mention (ooops! I did) the investment in high tech industries that are too expensive for one country alone (Unless you have an economy like the USA or China) to invest in like Nuclear Fusion , but bring a huge number of high paid jobs here.

When we have actually left and time for all of these damaging effects start to kick in , I will come back to this post and we can discuss over some chlorinated chicken what the effects are then.

Greenland left in 1985.

Nuclear Fusion!

We are better off championing tide wind and solar.

Lower cost, faster to develop and realise the potential.

Could you plot the Danish subsidy in there please as well?

Greenland left in 1985.

Due to something that doesn't exist (according to the unscientific/Brexiters), farming in agriculture in Greenland has increased greatly over the last couple of decades as has tourism and the building of hydro-electric power stations with all the melting ice.
But still, 25% of their GDP comes directly from Denmark

Why? Do they get more since leaving the EU?

Their 2912 subsidy was $650 million, so I would guess so.

The thing is Greenland is not an economy that is easily comparable to the UK. There are a lot of things about Greenland that are highly unusual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Greenland

The economy of Greenland can be characterized as small, mixed and vulnerable.[4] Greenland's economy consists of a big public sector and comprehensive foreign trade, which has resulted in an economy with periods of strong growth, considerable inflation, unemployment problems and extreme dependence on capital inflow from Denmark and use of outside, mainly Danish, skilled labor.[4]

GDP per capita is similar to the average European economies but the economy is critically dependent upon substantial support from the Danish government, which supplies about half the revenues of the home rule government who in turn employs 10,307 Greenlanders [5] out 25,620 currently in employment (2015). Unemployment nonetheless remains high, with the rest of the economy dependent upon demand for exports of shrimp and fish.[6]

A hefty sum, but do they get more since leaving the EU ( % terms)?

If you have a better example for an economy that has left the EU please post it here...

How about Sweden's and Austria's economy joining in 1995:





Finland joined in 1995 too...

[WTFH]

Sweden? You mean that socialist state where they welcome migrants?

[PurpleGorilla]

Okay - I was wrong on Brexit

I don't see an immediate economic boom for joining...

Three countries joined in 1995 and all three had flatline growth.

But Greenland leaves and GDP picks up.

Hmm.
