Immigrants take 98.5% of new jobs in Britain

New figures show that total British employment rose from around 25.7 million in 1997 to 27.4 million at the end of 2009, an increase of 1.67 million, but immigrants took an amazing 98.5% of those new jobs. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said that over ten years only Luxembourg had seen a larger share of new jobs taken by immigrants than Britain.
