800,000 UK jobs advertised in EU

[super jumbe]

Press Association - Ukip leader Nigel Farage said he was 'astonished' British vacancies were being advertised abroad

More than 800,000 British jobs are being advertised to foreign workers across the European Union on a website funded by the European Commission.

The website EURES lists a total of more than 1.4 million vacancies across the EU, with the UK making up more than 50% of them.

Foreign jobseekers are also being offered up to ?900 to cover travelling costs to the UK for interviews, while UK employers can receive a ?1,000 bonus for taking on a non-British worker, the Telegraph reported.

How is this possible?? all doleys say there are no jobs

I get about 4 phone calls a month offering me new jobs in the uk, and it's been around 10 years since I last dropped my cv anywhere serious. I did make the mistake of writing my cv online a couple of years back, ticking the "keep private", big mistake I was getting 5 calls a day ! I ended up changing the number online and feel sorry for the person who got the calls

There are jobs out there, but in my case at least, it's a specialised market. As for the doley's I doubt the jobs advertised are for labourers

well if employers are offered 1000 tokens to take on none brit employee they not going to take on a british worker are they, an effin disgrace if all this is true imo

As everything its a headline

and the jobs are advertised to british too

Now to be fair i think its ?870 grant from the European commision to take a foreigner and help them with english, which to most people running a business is **** all and not worth the hassle

Who would want the hassle of some immigrant who cant speak properley taking calls or talking to customers, they would lose you more money than ?870 its peanuts


Not saying that a few unscrupulous people do not exploit this and take a lot of them to get a lot of ?870's to clean blocked drains pick taties or similar but in general the foriegners who do come over do all the crap nobody in UK wants to do

Some industries will take foreigners as oppose to english brickies maybe one example, but as much as our UK lads will say they dont get a look in a lot of it revolves around work ethic and unfortunately we are not the grafters we once were

if the pish poor so called minimum wage was a reasonable living there wouldnt be a need for migrant workers peeps would be fighting for jobs.

It's not so much a minimum wage but more like taxpayers subsidising greedy companies who are more than happy to pay below a living wage and let the people working pick up the difference to pay tax credits to those they under pay. However that is **no** excuse to not take and have a job.

Its time we british took a stand against the government and told him where to go and get to grips with the eu and started to think more for british people, no wonder unemployment is so high.

What applicant is finally chosen is decided by those who advertised the job and not by the EU.

The EU provides the notice board and the employer places the advertisement, no guarantee for a permanent work, they will end up on dole and the tax payers will have to bill them.

Except they're only advertised there because either:

1) People in the UK don't have the right skills or......
2) People don't want to apply for the jobs

The employer decides where they advertise, the government doesn't *tell* them where to advertise, it's f'k all to do with the government. Where the government do need to take action is on

1) Free or subsidised relevant training rather than a degree in David Beckham studies which is a waste of money
2) Living wage rather than making the rest of us pay t make up peoples wages.

Until Birtitsh workers are trained and there is a real wage then we'll continue to bring people in from outside who are trained and motivated.

Sadly the minimum wage has hit Ford with the Transit van manufacturing now being moved to Turkey as the wages are lower. Even up here in civilisation there's been a couple of the main biscuit makers shipping overseas for the same reason. The minimum wage is a good idea in theory, however it's too easy to manufacture overseas and just ship the stuff in that we need and as we've only a relatively small population we'd only be directly purchasing a fraction of the goods anyway so they won't lose out on customers either. Just look around at the ones moaning about a decent wage and how many foreign goods they own and why.

[Meat-Head]

Are these overseas workers fat?

[GastonJ]

To a certain extent I agree with you on that, however profits and wages don't always go hand in hand, you only have to look at the wages and bonuses paid to bankers to see that, or to the wages and bonuses of many directors on boards of companies that have lost money of late. I do object to my tax money going to help companies to pay people sh*t wages though. Perhaps it's about time companies and the wages they paid were looked at in line with the profit margins on the good they make/sell or whatever, maybe base the minimum wage on that somehow.

That would be the Ford that were saying the UK should not leave the EU? So they go to a country outside the EU? Would they be taking teh money that Dave promised them when investing in 'UK car manufacturing' a few weeks back? I hope the EU charges them f'king huge tariffs for importing into the EU

lets put things into perspective, any one know the latest figures on how many peeps from uk are working abroad, and how many foreign workers are here in the uk ?

[GastonJ]

About 4.2 million from the UK work in other countries and about 3.7 million foreign workers work in the UK. These are taken from various pieces of information on the internet. However it does show that we're .5 million in the black, if the figures are to be trusted. It's difficult to obtain accurate information since most sites visited are biased against immigration for the usual uninformed reasons.
