Migrant workers

The Humber area has a long history of migration. 

Many local employers now rely on both long and short stay migrant workers to keep their businesses going. This is particularly in labour intensive industries where migrant workers are plugging the gaps. It is often due to a shortage of local workers.

We have created a myth busting leaflet. It aims to promote positive attitudes towards migrant communities.

It also has some basic and interesting facts and figures. It addresses some of the misleading conceptions that established communities may have about migrants. For example, that migrants live on benefits.
