Skills shortages

[DimPrawn]

Why can't employers recruit or train from the UK?

And pay the going rate? What next, global corporations paying tax?

That costs money rather than procuring an indentured ICT slave on the cheap

If so where are these women going to come from?

We will re-train some female nurses to be engineers, then we will re-train some male engineers to be nurses, thus solving the shortage in both and break the gender stereotype - 2 birds with one stone

too expensive - british people generally demand to be paid more to work less hard than eastern european/asian equivalents, doesn't make sense commercially

City AM bleating about a lack of resources. Perhaps it's just a lack of people prepared to take £100 a day less from someone notorious for cutting rates/dumping contractors at the drop of a hat.

Save far more binning off the consultants who deliver nothing like we've got here.

So the country is run by corporations rather than the government then.

Another reason to vote UKIP. Or CUSIP. Or something.

Is the answer for ICT/engineering to get more women into male dominated jobs

Or get more women to dominate males?

A whip crack of two would make those programmers type quicker...

They might be too excited to type when dominated.

But then if like you they would be too excited to type at the sight of an actual live woman.

Hang on, those males are already dominated by their wives to go to their boring deadend jobs in order to provide said females with the lifestyle they always were meant too...

the world is run by corporations. If british companies only employed british people (assuming british people demand more money than non-british people) they'd never be able to compete globally and UK economy wouldn't last long

that's why everyone makes everything in china

why should british people be paid more than an equally qualified (for the job) non-british person? because they happened to be born in the "right" country?

solution is for british people to accept the global demand/supply equilibrium for their skills, but not many people are happy about that because they're too used to being overpaid, so keep demanding high, so companies are forced look elsewhere for labour etc
