BBC: about about half of CEE emigrants had already left UK

[LTGuy]

A new study by the Institute for Public Policy has been published. The main finding is that almost 1/2 of CEE migrants have already left UK. Other findings:

- Three-quarters of all nationals from the 10 countries resident in the UK in 2007 were aged 16 to 39
- At 84%, the employment rate among post-enlargement migrants is among the highest of all immigrant groups, and is nine percentage points higher than the UK-born average
- Very few post-enlargement migrants claim state benefits (only 2.4% of those registering for National Insurance numbers between May 2004 and December 2007 claimed benefits)
- East European migrants work on average four hours longer per week than UK-born workers (46 hours compared with 42 hours)

So bad news for the likes of Catalpa - CEE nationals seem to work harder, no jobs for lazy shirkers

The reasons for coming home:

- decreasing income differential
- falling pound
- rising prices in UK
- general tiredness of living in a foreign country
