    £25,600

    "The government should drop the salary threshold for immigrants by more than £4,000, a committee has advised.

    Skilled migrants from outside the EU currently need to have a job offer with a minimum salary of £30,000.

    But the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) said it should fall to £25,600 for all workers to help recruit teachers and skilled NHS staff.

    The committee's chair also called Boris Johnson's proposal for a new points-based immigration system a "soundbite".

    Mr Johnson said he wanted a scheme, based on Australia's system, during his summer campaign to lead the Conservative Party, and he made it a key pledge during the election."

      Do you know of anyone who posts on here that voted to leave for that reason?

      If so, name and shame.

              Interesting how dropping wages attracts more and better skilled workers.

              But the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) said it should fall to £25,600 for all workers to help recruit teachers and skilled NHS staff.
              So we can't get highly skilled people at £30,000 p.a. but suddenly if we could offer them less, we have plenty of takers?

              Smells of getting unskilled cheap labour to me, which removes wage pressure, and leads to more relative poverty in the UK.

                Boris wants to attract 'the best brains in the world'. Nothing screams that more than the offer of £26500.

                  Well, the way the uk is going, all the industries that require highly skilled workers will disappear. £25,600 is enough for workers in the jam and biscuits industry. How much do you want to pay fruit pickers after all?
