Currently, those wanting to work in the UK must be offered a starting salary of £20,800. There are some higher thresholds specific to individual roles.
In 2014, 151,000 skilled workers and their dependants arrived in the UK or were allowed to stay on.
The committee said raising the salary threshold to £30,000 would have excluded almost 28,000 people in 2014 - or about 18% of the total.
that's the good bit,Comment

Previous end user outsourced to an Indian outsourcer via their Indian business (so shipping profit offshore) then shipped in people they were paying £12k. You can't compete with that. A well known mutual 3rd parties staff were not impressed with their skills just like us. The proof of the pudding was in the multiple outages under their time.
The loss of the tax revenue in the UK was in the millions.Last edited by vetran; 25 January 2016, 12:42.Comment
