Not only that but my council is shamefully employing people from outside of the County!
Seriously isn't this all rather silly?
Employers employ people who are best suited for the jobs
To get a competive advantage they outsource work off-shore - you can't legislate against that it would be stupid to try.
In order to stay competeive as a nation we have to concentrate on being a high cost, high value workforce.
And that means more and better education.
All those who criticise the idea of getting more and more youngsters through University ought to think about that a bit more.

noone is owed a living. hsbc is a business and cost efficiency is good business. the cost of living in britain is high, wages are high, and the minimum wage in the uk reflects a very healthy wage in the subcontinents.
add to that the additional costs and restrictions of operating a business premises here which are no doubt cheaper there too, and you soon realise that it makes proper business sense to move operations abroad.

I had a heated discussion about this a few weeks ago. A couple of guys I know only hire foreign workers because as they both stated to me, they can pay the minimum wage and they sometimes work for nothing too.
Ageism is also rife, a woman I know who runs a recruitment agency has a 'policy' not to put anyone forward for a job that is over the age of 45.
I'm afraid that as us brits get older it will only get harder.

Better secondary education, yes Jake. But not more University education.
Nowhere near 50% of jobs in the UK require degree level education. To aim to educate 50% of the population to that level is a scandalous waste of money. It is also a betrayal of those so educated as it raises false expectations among them.
Of course there is always the possibility that secondary education is so inadequate that only another three years will bring young people up to a decent level. But I'm only guessing.

grffindor The company that discriminates in that way should be shamed, write to which ever governing body, union whatever, its a reason so many good people are left on the scrap heap, i have seen it in action, sat in on interviews, though not part of the panel, usually the candidate had already been chosen, before the interview, on basis of CV, and varying factors, like age, and gender.
