If that is the case, how come there was no gap, where people in the UK wouldn't do it, but Eastern Europeans couldn't yet come here?
Sounds like people in the UK got pushed out, which is forever being claimed not to have happened.
LSE report
Quote:
New evidence in this Report shows that the areas of the UK with large increases in EU
immigration did not suffer greater falls in the jobs and pay of UK-born workers. The big
falls in wages after 2008 are due to the global financial crisis and a weak economic
recovery, not to immigration.
There is also little effect of EU immigration on inequality through reducing the pay and
jobs of less skilled UK workers. Changes in wages and joblessness for less educated UKborn
workers show little correlation with changes in EU immigration.
