Article in todays Telegraph.

With 15 million workers in the UK on £6 an hour. We have a far worse work related employment than the figures show.. We have 1 million kids out of work so were are the Jobs!!!

The number of Spaniards registering for a National Insurance number rocketed from just over 30,000 in 2011-12 to more than 45,500 last year, a jump of 50 per cent.

Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) figures also showed sharp increases in arrivals from Italy (up 35 per cent to nearly 33,000) and Portugal (up 43 per cent to 24,500).

The figures illustrate how citizens of countries with rampant unemployment are heading to Britain in the hope of finding work. Spain has a jobless rate of more than 26 per cent compared with Britain's 7.8 per cent.

Robert Rowthorn, emeritus professor of economics at King's College, Cambridge, said the influx from southern European countries would continue as long as their economies remained in trouble.

"The position of some of these people, particularly the young, is quite desperate," he said.
