More than 100,000 EU citizens left Britain in the three months after the EU referendum #brexit

More than 100,000 EU citizens left Britain in just over three months after the EU referendum, figures just in this week week.

New worker registrations from Poland are down 16 per cent year on year, Hungary down 14 per cent, and Slovakia down 20 per cent and other surrounding countries.

It has been a primary concern about a rise in immigration, some might be applauding the trend, but for important UK industries it is already creating a serious problem, and one that provides a preview of what may be to come for the wider economy.

While more people are still arriving than leaving, businesses worry the numbers will not be enough to replace the work force that has already left.

The UK’s growing hospitality sector should be a Brexit winner. A record 37 million tourists visited in 2016 as the pound plunged. But many warehouse staff, hotels, restaurants and bars are already finding it hard to recruit the EU nationals that make up a large proportion of the industry’s 4.9 million work force.
