It appears @JuliaHB1 can't read a graph. ;-) 30% of Eastern Europeans work in "low-skilled" jobs. Rest in middle & high skilled.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/852096002077143040 …
Fine, I was conflating the two & was not clear. But your tweet ignores the key reality of differing work profiles for different EU migrants.

Profiles different, true. But key point - often ignored -is for *all* migrant groups, most work in "middle" skill jobs - just like Brits.

The issue is whether they are net contributors or not. Different migrant groups have different contribution rates

Basically almost everyone in work is a net contributor, even if low paid. See chart 3.7 here: http://cdn.budgetresponsibility.org.uk/FSR_Jan17.pdf

Excellent example of how to lose an argument, then sneakily shift it, just to be refuted again. Immigrants contribute, low or high skilled.

Ah, but the real issue is . . . .
