One in five migrants from the two Eastern European countries of working age are not in employment and the rate is deteriorating as more people arrive. More than a quarter of a million people from the so-called A2 nations are now living in the UK and are arriving at a rate of almost 50,000 a year. That is enough migrants to fill a city the size of Wolverhampton after numbers increased almost six fold in just eight years, analysis by the Migration Observatory shows. Some 46,000 of them are not in a job even though they are of working age – compared to just 3,000 in 2006 – the last year before the two countries joined the EU.
