Despite UK government efforts to attract skilled migrants, high-wage foreign workers are increasingly favoring countries like France and the Netherlands over the UK. Data from job-search platform Indeed shows that only 20% of clicks on UK job postings from abroad were for high-wage positions, a lower proportion than most advanced economies. In contrast, 40% of foreign clicks targeted the UK’s lowest-paid jobs, raising concerns about the effectiveness of Conservative policies aimed at limiting low-skill migration. The UK trails behind other nations in attracting top-tier talent, as high-wage workers opt for better opportunities elsewhere in Europe.
