But when you look at the unemployment figures, the least productive are not the white British but some ethnic minorities that previous immigration has given us:

Low productivity is not unrelated to immigration in other ways, as it says in your link, we invest less in infrastructure. The infrastructure requirement, roads, rail, water, power etc is not an absolute but is related to population. As it also says, "Congested roads and crowded railways make commuting unpleasant, and moving goods around the country more expensive". Trains and roads are very congested in the South and that has not been helped by adding 10%+ to the population in many areas, and that is only the foreign born, it does not include their offspring born here.
On a wider note, allowing companies to depend on cheap labour rather than improve efficiency and invest in machinery can hardly be helping either. One example, all the migrant car washes that have been opened in the South East, they are everywhere around here. Meanwhile that expensive automatic car wash your local garage spent so much on is hardly used.Last edited by xoggoth; 22 May 2015, 08:40.bloggoth

unemployment keeps going down so somebody is hiring them. With ultra-low productivity cheap labour is the only thing that sustains the UK at the moment...and Cameron knows it.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Although Germany which has many more immigrants than the UK still manages to produce more per head....It would be interesting to see how Luxembourg rates as well as that, in recent years, has had a very high rate of immigration“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
