The Telegraph (online):
On immigration and jobs, Theresa May employs the post-truth politics of Donald Trump
5 October 2016
If you're one of those people who lost their job, who stayed in work but on reduced hours, took a pay cut as household bills rocketed, or - and I know a lot of people don't like to admit this - someone who finds themselves out of work or on lower wages because of low-skilled immigration, life simply doesn't seem fair.
... it may be worth looking at another paper by the the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.It concludes thus: There is still no evidence of an overall negative impact of immigration on jobs, wages, housing or the crowding out of public services. Any negative impacts on wages of less skilled groups are small. One of the largest impacts of immigration seems to be on public perceptions.
