More EU
workersleaving U.K. restaurant jobs
As EU nationals leave Britain in ever greaternumbers ahead
of Brexit, restaurants like pizzeria chain Franco Manca
arereporting shortages that could spell trouble for a sector that
relies onimmigrant labor.
The number of EU nationals leaving Britain, mostof them
from central Europe, rose by 33,000 to 122,000 people during the
12months to March, according to the latest data following last
year's Brexit referendum.
Franco Manca's parent company,Fulham Shore, said the
prospect of new controls on immigration when Britainleaves the bloc
was "already affecting the availability of skilledEuropean
restaurant staff." The company, whereonly 20 percent of the staff
are British, said it was implementing "a number of
incentiveschemes" to persuade Europeans to stay. Owners worrythat
British workers may not be able or willing to fill the gap left
bydeparting Europeans.
The hospitality industry currently has thehighest
proportion of unfilled jobs in Britain, according to the Office
forNational Statistics (ONS).
And the situation is worsening, with 4.3 percentof
hospitality jobs vacant in June to August 2017, compared with 3.5
percent ayear earlier.
随着英国准备脱欧，离开英国的欧盟公民越来越多，像比萨店连锁店Franco
Manca这样的餐馆已经表示人手短缺，这可能会对依赖外来员工的行业造成困扰。
截至3月的12个月内，离开英国的欧盟国民人数，从3.3万人，上升至12.2万人，其中大部分来自中欧国家。
FrancoManca的母公司Fulham
Shore表示，当英国决定脱欧后，就打算严格控制移民的前景，而这"已经影响到熟练的欧洲餐厅员工用工的可用性"。该公司只有20%的员工是英国人，该公司已经实施了"一些奖励计划"来尝试挽留欧洲员工。而公司担心英国工人可能无法填补欧洲员工留下的空白。
根据国家统计局的统计，英国目前人手最短缺的为餐饮业，而且情况正在恶化，2017年6月至8月的职位空缺率为4.3%，而去年同期为3.5%。
