Redundancy spike prompts committee to remove QSs and project managers from skills shortage list

Quantity surveyors and property and construction project managers from outside of the EU are set to be barred from competing with EU workers for jobs in the UK, because of the leap in redundancies in the sector.

The Migration Advisory Council yesterday recommended that QSs and project managers for “property development and construction” be removed from a list of occupations where the UK is suffering a skills shortage....

...The shortage occupation list is devised by considering whether the occupation in question must be sufficiently skilled, whether there is a shortage of workers and whether it is sensible to fill any shortage with workers from outside the European Union.

That's why i'm still stuck here!!!!
and the people on that side must be cheering. these people can be extremely xenophobic.
