"fewer than one in seven arrivals last year were skilled workers (officially defined as those paid over £26,200" For full time 37.5 hours a week 52 weeks a year that's only 28% above minimum wage. Median weekly wages in the UK are £663, or £34,500 a year. It's depressing that "skilled labour" isn't even the median wage. Throw in the likelihood that most arrivals will be in cities which tend to have higher media Of course the problem in the UK is that all productive gains go to land owners, so what's the point.
