This from Bloomberg

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-24/euro-area-s-budding-recovery-might-have-what-it-takes-to-blossom

"It’s looking good for the euro area right now and there’s every chance that’s how it will stay."

Of course the usual caveats BB.

It's in Britain's interests that the EU countries do well. They prosper - we prosper. Much more important than politics.

Here is an overview of Brexit so far from the Independent newspaper

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/brexit-economy-sterling-currency-investment-cost-impact-business-financial-banks-insurance-retail-a7695486.html

Yes BB, Yes it's a newspaper, yes a Journalist wrote it and yes he/she probably spoke to experts.
Two of the three journalists credited have foreign sounding names.

Indeed. A Remoaner paper that never stops running down Britain. And never stops being wrong :rotfl::rotfl:

Fake news. Opinion masquerading as fact.

There is some positives for both sides of the argument in this article.

Good...."“In fifteen years we’d never had anyone British working in our housekeeping team but now we have three out of six, so it’s already had a massive difference,” she says."

Bad...."“The simple truth is if I can’t hire here I’ll do it abroad at our Asian office which is about to move from Singapore to Hong Kong,” he says. “I think I’m going to have to mitigate risk by focussing on growing staff numbers abroad and I imagine I’m not the only SME thinking that way. It’s tough but I’ve offered jobs recently to EU citizens who’ve turned me down because they’ve found employment elsewhere in the EU. I need the best people so I can’t allow that to carry on.”"

In the last 20 years that we have been in the EU we have had massive flows of both jobs and people with technical skills between India and UK.

I just see it as part of the changing world frankly. In the future there are going to be more people chasing fewer jobs. Finding people with the required ability won't be problematic.

What point are you making?

Let's be honest being in the EU/FoM doesn't create jobs (for anyone other than Germans). Otherwise the French, Spanish and Italians wouldn't have such high rates of unemployment.....

Britain is creating jobs - how we chose to fill them - from now on - will be our business.

Ps - no employers are having trouble filling positions because if they were wages would be rising....

So you didn't read the part where one employer increased wages?

No point being made other than bringing notice of this survey to the thread.

Good news for biscuit lovers but bad news for workers.

Wages were rising prior to the Brexit vote.

Offshoring was happening before brexit.

It's much easier to blame ordinary voters, rather than blame global companies owned from afar; companies who don't really care where their products are made, just as long as ordinary voters continue to buy them.
