Cheap labour post Brexit Options

[newres]

We stayed in a hotel in Bristol overnight and most of the staff were white non UK citizens. It occurred to me that if we opted out of the freedom of movement would we get that labour from the commonwealth and I wondered how the "take back control" folk would feel about that?

So far, no one has factored in what Mark Carney Governor of the Bank of England said a few weeks back; technology will be taking over vast numbers of low level jobs very quickly now. He's concerned that the number of jobs avaliable will be hugely reduced and as a consequence unemployment will again become the main issue. We shouldn't worry about immigrants; they'll be off. So, nothing to do with Brexit, just the onward march of technology.

As if to underline this, albeit using existing methods and processes, Sainsbury's have made a start. Centralised and automated functions replacing a large number of jobs.

Those with the work ethic will , undoubtedly , be off to pastures new . The problem is those who have neither the drive nor Country to return to will find themselves in our social welfare system . Rather debatable as to how much technology will change the working environment , supermarket checkouts yes , house builders no . All about the Country , ( wherever it is ) , being able to support it's population . Once an area becomes overpopulated in terms of people equal to the number of houses/jobs/medical facilities etc then cracks start to appear . Then the nationalists raise their banner and off we go again . History repeats and continues to do so .
