[*]Migrants are good for the economy (aka boosting economy by £6 billion but remitting £5 billion home)

And what do you think they do with currency in their own countries? They buy foreign stuff. The UK's problem is that it does not export much anymore. This is hardly the fault of immigrants as there are plenty of those in the USA, Germany and other countries.

Bosses pick 'diligent' Poles ahead of British workers

The study found that Poles have made such a good impression that immigrants from other countries such as Romania and the Czech Republic are now posing as their former Eastern Bloc neighbours in a bid to win jobs.

The study found Poles are the most desired migrant workers
Bosses are hiring Eastern Europeans ahead of Britons because they work harder.

A study for a Government quango found the newcomers were perceived as more dedicated and diligent.

To paraphrase: We have ballsed up the immigration policy(sic) so badly we now have to fund bollux studies to justify our inaction.

For furthur reading see:

• Migrants are good for the economy (aka boosting economy by £6 billion but remitting £5 billion home)
• Skills shortages (aka winning Indian contributions to Labour's funding)

To paraphrase - employers are taking on Poles because they work just as hard for less money. Why people feel the need to embellish and sugarcoat these things I'll never know.

I am afraid that is not either true or fair. The women particularly are hard working, reliable and assertive () the men are weak and two faced.
They tend to be task orientated so do not necessarily make good recruitment consultants. Good reliable administrators and resourcers yes. Lying in business does'nt come naturally to them either. They are tulipe at sales. (but they learn fast )

Also there are so many of them around that have good uni degrees with nice norks why would you bother finding a brit when all you have to is a bit of drunken "job offer" dribbling to a Polish waitress at a restaurant?

Polish workers, in particular, are valued so highly that those from countries such as Romania or the Czech Republic are now posing as Poles to win jobs.

The Learning and Skills Council's survey of employers and migrants found employers rank British jobseekers "some way below East European migrants", but above "less desirable" migrant worker groups such as gipsies and Somalis.

The council is a multi-million pound quango charged with improving skills in England.

This research, by the Institute for Employment Research at Warwick University, focused on the economic impact of migrant workers in the West Midlands.

Last year, Britain's population rose by 189,000, with 574,000 migrants arriving and 385,000 residents leaving.

More than 430,000 Poles have registered with the Home Office to work here since the expansion of the EU in 2004.

That figure does not include partners, the self-employed or children and some experts believe the true figure could be closer to one million.

One of the firms to have seen an explosion in the number of Polish recruits is JCB in Staffordshire.

A worker at the company, who did not wish to be named, said: "To be fair, they (the Poles) are good workers and they do put in the effort and the hours.

"But you can't help feeling that these jobs could be going to local men who are crying out for work."

A spokesman for the company said employees were appointed on the basis of skills and ability.

An LSC spokesman said the study did not set out to make a comparison between the British workforce and migrant workers and had not concluded that migrant labour is preferred.

Looks like it's good time to have -sky end in your surname

But it probably means they won't pay going rates
