Does this Labour government have any idea?

The Telegraph report that:

"The Labour Force Survey (LFS), the main Government tool for measuring changes in the workforce, fails to include any foreigners in the country for less than a year. In addition migrant workers living in communal properties are also excluded, meaning many thousands more could also be under the radar.

The ommissions mask the total impact immigration has on the British labour force, prompting accusations from the Conservatives than ministers have misrepresented the situation.

In total, foreign workers make up one in seven of the labour market, despite Gordon Brown's pledge to create "British jobs for British workers".

Figures in November showed migrants have accounted for all the growth in employment over the past two years while the number of Britons in work has fallen.

...

statisticians in the House of Commons Library admitted it does not include temporary migrant workers in the count.

That is migrants who are working in the UK for less than a year but, in contrast, the survey does count temporary British workers who may only be in jobs for a few months."

Once again this Labour government shows itself to be either incompetent or deliberately misleading the UK population.
