The government's obsession with immigration both legal and illegal is front and centre this week, and today's announcement that the government is looking to reduce legal migration by 300,000 by raising the minimum salary that overseas workers are required to earn before being able to apply for a family visa is going to raised to £38,700.
And yet, the government thinks that people working in the care sector are going to want to continue coming to the UK to work in sectors like the care industry. even if it means not bringing their families. I'm struggling to see it myself, and also struggling to see the queues of UK nationals desperate to work in shortage sectors such as this.
So, what are the implications for the economy's productive capacity and, by definition, the LRAS?
