This research was conducted with an aim to focus on the severity of imposing restrictions on the immigration after the Britain Exit which happened during June 2016.

The data released by the ‘Office for National Statistics’ more than 2 million immigrants from the European Union have been employed in various economic industries which include financial, hospitality, healthcare and manufacturing sectors during the calendar year of 2016.

The ONC research has revealed that immigrants from the Eastern part of the Europe are more likely to work for prolonged working hours and earn wages lower than other co-workers. And also most of them are over-educated for their jobs.
