Poles returning to the UK

Polish workers are returning to the UK in the belief that the worst of the economic crisis is over according to new data.

Figures released by the Migrant Information Source show that from the beginning of the year up to the end of June that Poles in the UK rose by 53,000.

Although Poland avoided recession in 2009 there is still 11% unemployment and the standard of living is not considered to be as good as it good as it is in the UK.

The increase in migrants is good news to those involved in the preparation of the London 2012 Olympics, as they were worried about a labour force shortage affecting the building programme which the latest influx should help address.
