In other words there will be an increase in pay from lack of competition from migrants workers but a bigger decrease as a result of a slowing economy.
The Sun has also overstated the report's finding of a link between migration and lower paid workers. You can read the report itself here: http://www.resolutionfoundation.org/...labour-market/ |
Although there is an assumption that there will be a "bounce back", the fact remains the article points out there was a drop in the first place as a result of EU immigration.

It added that on average, skilled workers in low-paid jobs would have earned an extra £436 since 2009 if net migration had been zero as firms would have had to pay more to hire UK staff, Resolution added.
