More than half (53%) of UK companies employing foreign workers are worried that their business will be hit by the government's post-Brexit immigration plans to expand the minimum wage threshold for skilled workers from outside the EU to all migrant workers, according to a survey by the British Chambers of Commerce and Indeed. The survey, which was conducted in partnership with the Institute of Directors, found that more than three-quarters (74%) of employers said they were concerned about losing out on potential talent if Britain leaves the EU. The BCC said the survey was conducted between April 29 and May 16. Health care and construction will be especially impacted, said Indeed economist Pawel Adrjan.
