UK – Number of EU citizens looking for jobs in the UK is falling (Business Insider)

30 March 2017

The number of EU citizens looking for jobs in the UK has fallen by 18% since January, reports the Business Insider with data from Indeed. The data comes as Article 50 was triggered yesterday signaling the official negotiation process of the UK leaving the EU. "As Article 50 looms, we are seeing a sharper and longer decline in interest in working in the UK than in previous 'shock drops' following last year's referendum. As Brexit moves from rhetoric to reality, the strain on Britain’s strong but tight labour market will worsen," Mariano Mamertino, EMEA economist at Indeed, said.
