Typical Westminster! Making us be unproductive!😡! /s
Scotland is now a net drain on the treasury in a state which has a gdp per capita comparable to Mississippi. We aren’t serious about growth in Britain.
You know the SNP will spin that around and blame Westminister for it.
Is that at all surprising? I was always under the impression that Scotland needed net immigration and Scotland’s exports probably don’t fare too well since last year.
The report seems to make similar points:
“The report also warns that skills shortage vacancies are considered the “biggest challenge” facing employers in Scotland, which has the “potential to significantly impact productivity”.
This is due to a “perfect storm” of factors including overseas workers leaving during the pandemic and new immigration rules following Brexit being introduced when “firms had very little capacity to adapt and prepare”.
The report adds these shortages are “holding back our economic recovery at the exact moment we need to be driving it forward” and could take up to two years to resolve.”
