Three months in and we’re yet to see the full effect of life outside the bloc. But for industries reliant on overseas staff like the care and agriculture sectors, it’s a different story
It’s a job that pays around £40,000 a year but few people want to do it, and it can’t be done by a machine. So when ‘chick sexers’ – who determine whether young chickens are male or female so they can be sorted for meat or eggs – were added to the skilled worker list set by the Migration Advisory Committee, poultry farmers breathed a sigh of relief. Butchers, bricklayers and deckhands have also been added to the list of shortage occupations for which there are not enough resident workers, offering a smoother route for migrant workers to come to the UK.
