How do you define the people that you need? Seems like a scheme to create lots of well-paid civil service jobs and strangle the British economy with red tape and cost. Move over Jeremy Corbyn, Old Boy will do your job for you!

You seem to be thinking of a model of a centrally-planned economy like the Soviet Union with minimal technological change. Your theory may work ok in such an economic environment but not in a world where yesterday's jobs are outdated in ways that no one can predict and new jobs are created in areas that we would similarly never have considered.
