Brits Move Abroad For Work
A report by NatWest personal banking has revealed better jobs abroad are luring increasing numbers of British nationals overseas. The survey found nearly 200,000 people left the UK in 2006 with more than two thirds doing so in order to work.
Of the 1114 surveyed, nearly four out of ten – 42 per cent, were professionals or managers. Results suggest the typical expat is no longer necessarily a retiree as over half – 57 per cent are aged 43 with an average salary of £67,000.
Our view
We suggest that if people can earn more in places like Dubai and pay no taxes and there are continuing job opportunities then migration of skilled workers will continue.
