The UK has barred foreign workers from filling more than 100 occupations, a big move by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government to tighten immigration. Announced by the Home Office, the decision aims to reduce dependency on foreign labor and open more opportunities for British workers.
Jobs cut from the foreign recruitment list include roles in agriculture, hospitality, health, welfare, protective services, and even creative arts. Salary thresholds for skilled worker visas have increased by at least 30%.
Many migrants, including Nigerians on Certificate of Sponsorship visas, are now worried about their future. Do you think this immigration policy makes the job market fairer, or does it risk shrinking vital sectors?
