英國(guó)政府相關(guān)部門(mén)顧問(wèn)表示，英國(guó)應(yīng)對(duì)來(lái)自歐洲以外的獸醫(yī)、網(wǎng)頁(yè)設(shè)計(jì)師、心理學(xué)家和建筑師放寬移民政策。英國(guó)移民咨詢委員會(huì)說(shuō)，這些工作應(yīng)該被列入旨在填補(bǔ)英國(guó)勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)缺口的名單中。

文字稿

The government has strict rules for the recruitment of skilled workers from outside the European Economic Area, but those restrictions are relaxed for jobs which are placed on the shortage occupation list because they're difficult to fill.

英國(guó)政府對(duì)招聘來(lái)自歐洲經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)以外的專(zhuān)業(yè)技術(shù)類(lèi)工作者有嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定，但對(duì)于那些由于難以填補(bǔ)而被列入短缺職業(yè)名單的工作，這些限制可被放寬。

The Migration Advisory Committee says the list should be widened to cover nine percent of jobs in the labour market, compared to one per cent now. Among the reasons it gives are lower unemployment, a rising number of vacancies and a reduction in the supply of workers from within the EU.

英國(guó)移民咨詢委員會(huì)表示，這個(gè)名單應(yīng)相應(yīng)擴(kuò)大，以涵蓋勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)中9%的就業(yè)崗位，而目前此比例僅為1%。咨詢委員會(huì)列出的原因包括失業(yè)率下降、職位空缺增多以及歐盟內(nèi)部勞動(dòng)力供應(yīng)減少。
