Firms look to hire migrants as British job losses rocket

Companies are planning to hire more migrant workers even as Britain's jobless toll rises by almost 3,000 a day, a new survey shows.

Nearly one firm in 12 aims to take on immigrants because they cannot find suitably qualified Britons, according to the report.

The hiring plans are revealed in the survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and accountants KPMG.


It comes as official figures are expected to show the number of unemployed rose 250,000 in the three months to June.

This would take unemployment above 2.5 million, with further job losses to follow in the coming months.

The survey shows that 8 per cent of employers intend to recruit migrant workers in the third quarter of 2009.

Some bosses said this is because they find migrants more 'hardworking and reliable', while others said they tend to be better qualified.

This comes after official figures showed the number of non-UK nationals in employment increased in the first quarter of 2009 while the number of UK nationals fell.

The survey undermines controversial claims by Gordon Brown that he wants 'British jobs for British workers'.

The CIPD said Labour was failing to ensure that large sections of the British-born population have the right skills to compete in the jobs market. Gerwyn Davies, public policy adviser at the CIPD, said: 'The best way to provide "British jobs for British workers" is to make Brits better equipped to compete in the jobs market rather than raise barriers to skilled migrants.
'Most are recruited and retained by employers because they provide skills or attitudes to work in short supply among the homegrown workforce.'

Economist Howard Archer, of IHS Global Insight, said the jobless pain will be particularly acute for young UK school and university leavers. He forecasts unemployment will peak at 3.2 million next year.

'Even if the economy does return to growth in the third quarter, activity is still unlikely to be strong enough for some considerable time to come to prevent further net job losses,' he said.

Meanwhile, the Department for Work and Pensions has started an inquiry into why there is a large gap between the unemployment rate, which stands at 7.6 per cent, and the proportion of the population claiming Jobseeker's Allowance, which is 4.8 per cent.

There was speculation that this is partly because some of those being laid off are well-paid City workers, while others might not have claimed benefits if they were hoping to get another job quickly.
