Plenty of unemployed people want to work. However the PROOF from the story you referred to is that plenty more do not. Otherwise, where were the queues of local people applying for the job?
The FACT is, Tesco or whoever will not go to the hassle of recruiting abroad if there are people locally because it is easier and cheaper to recruit locally - no language or training issues, cheaper job advertising - but they will go abroad if they HAVE TO. The FACT is, in this case, they had to.
Ask yourself why they had no choice but to recruit from overseas Arthur. Where were all these willing unemployed Brits you speak of?

Indeed, it costs a *lot* more to recruit people from other countries. The likes of Tesco will be willing to pay a lot of money to employ people with good qualifications in high up jobs (executives etc), and, indeed, probably do. They won't be willing to do the same for any of the in store staff, who, with due respect, will not be that highly qualified. Why would they, when there are thousands of people local to each store who are equally qualified to do those jobs?
Your last sentance is just logic. Why would any company pay a lot of money to recruit anyone when they can get someone equally qualified for the job just by sticking an ad in the local paper?
