11/25/2008: "Immigrants are taking more British jobs than ever"

Jobs filled by foreigners has soared by almost half a million over the period while the number of UK-born employees has slumped by 149,000.

It shows the huge influence immigration is having on the workforce and critics said it makes a mockery of Gordon Brown's pledge of "British jobs for British workers".

Young migrant workers and those over 50 also now earned more, on average, than their British counterparts.

And a report by one of Prince Charles' official charities warned rural communities are struggling to cope with the unprecedented number of overseas workers descending on their towns and villages.

[ Save us Prince Charles! ]
