Nigerians, Indians Fill Up More Job Positions In UK Than Britons by Newlymarried(op): 5:22pm On Aug 13, 2024

Nigerians and Indians have seen the most significant growth in employment in the UK between 2019 and 2023, according to data from His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The HMRC, which is the UK's tax authority responsible for collecting direct and indirect taxes, as well as administering benefits and tax credit payments, provided the data following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by Neil O’Brien, a member of parliament and former government minister.

The data shows a remarkable shift in the UK's employment landscape, with about 10 percent fewer jobs held by European Union (EU) nationals, while employment among people from outside the EU increased by 69 percent during the period.

Of the 1.481 million additional employments recorded in the UK, 1.465 million were held by non-EU nationals, with UK nationals accounting for only 257,000. Specifically, nationals from India and Nigeria saw the most significant increases, with 488,000 and 279,000 more employments, respectively. Pakistan and Ghana also recorded substantial employment growth, with increases of 101,000 and 55,000, respectively.

“Within that non-EU total, the biggest growth in employments in absolute terms were among nationals of India (+488,000), Nigeria (+279,000), Pakistan (+101,000), and Ghana (+55,000),” O’Brien noted in his analysis of the report.

In the private sector, non-EU nationals saw a 1.2 million increase in employment opportunities, while UK nationals secured just 29,000 additional jobs.

However, the report also highlighted a decline in earnings for Indian and Nigerian nationals relative to their UK counterparts. Before the pandemic, young working-age individuals from India and Nigeria earned 15 and 10 percent more, respectively, than UK nationals of the same age, but now they earn less.

Ben Brindle, an economist at Oxford University’s Migration Observatory think tank, suggested to the Daily Mail that non-EU migrants are increasingly taking up roles that were previously held by EU workers before Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The data underscores the significant impact of migration on the UK's employment market, with non-EU nationals playing a growing role in the country's workforce.

There's a saying:

In 1824, a British man ruled India and in 2024, an Indian man rules Britain

At least it was accurate during Sunak's regime

One thing I know Indians for is that they are very dedicated to any work they do. Nigerians also have this quality to an extent but when they are outside the country.

You know, coming from poverty capitals, these two countries have no option than to work. So, it's not surprising they are taking up more job positions. After all, all employers want is someone to do a good job for them.
Kindly understand. I have been without a job for sometime and now, it's extremely hard to feed. If I lie, may I not ever succeed in life, I haven't eaten anything today. Yesterday, I ate only bread and groundnut at night. So, kindly help. Zenith Bank 2002-318-853. I hate to do this but I have no other option now. As you assist me at this tough time, may you never lack help in your life when you need it. Currently, my laptop is up for sale on Facebook and Jiji, but no buyer yet. Thank you.

The only benefit you can get as a Nigerian abroad.

It’s easy to become a graduate and gain experience in Nigeria.

How many British citizens can afford university education. Why the citizens will always be behind.

Indian is churning out quality graduates every year, and massive jobs even moving to India. The UK and US government should start knowing that, demanding a head for university education will not empower their citizens.

Re: Nigerians, Indians Fill Up More Job Positions In UK Than Britons by Omoawoke(m): 2:47pm On Aug 14, 2024

That’s very necessary!
British colonizing and invading peoples land, looting their resources and still looting till date is the reason west African countries and others are not stable today.

It’s turn by turn, they looted our land and went to develop theirs, we are coming for their jobs and will take everything if possible.

Those people did west Africans dirty, destroyed the cultures heritage and land and still looted our artifacts which are currently in their museums.
I urge every west African to try to get at least the citizenships of British and other European countries so you can have equal rights with them. Those people owes us big time

Indians have taken the world by storm. In some countries in the ME, Indians are more in number than the citizens and any other foreign demographic in those countries.

They are taking over the world one step at a time .

Re: Nigerians, Indians Fill Up More Job Positions In UK Than Britons by MuMuOnBail:
Na wa ooo



Before my Nigerian Brethren here in Nairaland start rejoicing, Look at the first top ten countries starting with Nigeria at Number one, You will see that those top 10 countries are countries that can accept any foolish or menial jobs to survive in any country they relocate to.

In fact they are the lowest of the lowest.
They are the Abokis of UK (Mai-ruwa, cart pushers, shoe shiner, bitter kola hawkers, Iron pickers etc )
They have no pride or respect in Labour, always looking miserable, depressed etc. angry

With so much dreams and expectation in mind, when they arrive that sh!thole called UK. reality set in, with many bills and pressure on them (School fees),
they will start looking for jobs, I mean any kind of job and end up doing what they will never in their life dare to do in Nigeria, earning pie-nut wages that will still be taxed backed to the Stingy UK government. grin grin

No one should admire anyone in the sh!thole UK (At least those that relocated 2022 to date )
I WAS THERE, I SAW AND I RELOCATED MY FAMILY TO SOMEWHERE BETTER

Na so so Oyibo nyash majority of Nigerians for UK body de smell grin grin grin
