Bank of England claims Brexit and immigration rules push up wages, but I'd like to see a breakdown as wages have risen in many EU countries due to labour shortages.
Not that this "no low income jobs immigration" model is great for all sectors, from care workers to research assistants at universities,many jobs are still not paid enough.
If it was as easy as "keeping jwestlands out who came in on a lower wages job" we'd not have a mess of strikes and a care workers staffing crisis.
