According to new research released by the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford:
Numbers of European Union-born professionals working in the UK’s skilled construction and building trade dropped off by 46% in 2019.
Additional research released by the ONS this month found that the non-British resident population declined in the year through June 2020, with the biggest decrease among citizens of EU countries at -135,000.
These include migrants from Poland, Estonia and Slovenia, which make up 26% of the UK’s construction sector.
