Re: Britain outside the EU

FTE is Full Time Equivalent, which is similar to pro rata - they’re indicating what you would earn if you were doing full-time hours. Basically it’s a way of making the headline salary for a part time job look more attractive on a job advert.

BUT like most brexiteers you’re failing to provide a viable solution.

You know fine well that wages can’t just be increased.
Force U.K. unemployed to take those roles ?
Apprenticing routes out of school and ending the obsession with everyone going to university would be the start of a long-term fix.

Yes, also look closely at the way Universal Credit works and ensure it’s not subsidising indolence. To be honest simply implementing UC is a major step forwards. The Tax Credits system was so wide open to abuse it was insane.

In the shorter term I believe we will find out just how difficult it has really been to fill certain vacancies once we get out of covid and once British employers come to terms with the fact that they have to try harder. I’m not convinced many of them have accepted that yet - hence the whiny press releases pleading with el gov to reopen the immigration floodgates.

A wage-price spiral is not inevitable. Inflation is well under control at present and interest rates are still through the floor. The Bank of England has got plenty of room to manoeuvre when the time comes.
