Analysis of the UK labour market and the immigration

I agree with the statement that "Britain has an oasis of talent only problem is they recruit all the crap." Great Britain has educated so many talented people, especially in Scotland, but they tend to leave this country because of this fact.

My point is that the UK and the Western EU countries tend to prefer the EU imigrant to the non-EU altough the one from the EU has a lower class qualification than the one from the non-EU. I have seen the fact. Furthurmore, they prefer Japaenese citizens who have already got the UK permanent residencial VISA to the Japanese persons who do not like me. It is mainly because of the bureaucracy. The companies tend to want to avoid the extra bureaucracy. This is the statement that the recruit agencies told me as well!


In 1990s in Britain, there was a notorious wage inflation. I am sympathetic to the fact that the UK Labour government wanted the cheap manual labour force imigrants from the EU Eastern European countries to calm the wage inflation down.

But, my concern is that the "intermediate class" job which I have been trying to get. When there is an obvious a world class achievement indicated in the CV, it does not matter. But, such indivdiuals with this sort of CV are not majority. Majority of the applicants of skilled non-manual jobs are highly discriminated between the EU and the non-EU. Because this sort of job is difficult to access propery.

For the manual labour jobs, it is irrelevant to measure the specific skills apart from the efficiency to work under the cheap wage.

But, my situation is not entirely fair condition. I have spent 6 years for the education overhere, and obtained MSc and Honours in Bachelor with a good grade.

As I also studied in microeconomics in MSc, the information on the labour market tends to be assymetric so that the insurrance and the personal connection exist there to avoid the unseen risk.

Of course, people recognise if there is a world class achievement. But, as a matter of fact, this kind of labour force is such limitted.

My favourite quote of Max Stirner

“He who must expend his life to prolong life cannot enjoy it, and he who is still seeking for his life does not have it and can as little enjoy it.” --- Max Stirner (Anarchist)

Japan will be far more isolated from the global community...!

Budget cutters target JET
'Amakudari' excess or 23-year success in soft foreign policy?



Who want to go to Japan to friendly communicate with Japanese? Only those paid by them do! Any people from the advanced Western countries coming for business would not have much time to communicate in the local community.

This has been the only way the ordinary Western people (North American, Western European, Australian, and New Zealander) come to Japan, and Japanese could know their civilisation and culture! I was highly benefited by this JET programme! If there had not been this programme, I would not be successful like now! Japanese government should cut the other "Amakudari"; not the JET one!!

I rescpet Jean Claude Trichet

Although I am highly sceptical about the currently ongoing system of the European Monetary Union, I really respect Mr Trichet! This is the "good example of monetalism" i.e. not a nihilistic and normative monetalism: Trichetian monetalism is realistic and functional! I really think, among the advanced nations, the US Federal Researve and the European Central Bank are respectable central banks: I seriously despice the other central banks in the advanced countries such as Bank of Japan and Bank of England! All in all, Mr. Jean Claude Trichet is a great governer! He is from Nancy in the north east of France where I visited once and is famous for Art Nouveau and Jeanne d'Arc. This proves a civilised place nurtures and educates such a civilised person





Yep, as long as the EU is willing to amend the current unstable structure of the EMU, the Eurozone economy will develop further and take an initiative in the global economy.

I am totally apathetic about the ideological issue, but I strongly concern about how the newly invented common currency system and the evolution of European unionism go on in the future!

I would say, the Euro is short in the short term, but long in the long (probably and the midium) term!

Mr. Trichet had a right choice to keep a certain level of interest rate unlike BoJ and BoE having setting sizeably low! Furthermore, as the interest rate goes up (what Mr Trichet has done) , the demand of purchasing national debts goes up, and the positive inflation will be encouraged due to repressing unnecessary supply of capital and encouraging a strong capital fonded by the increased saving. As the positive inflation occurs, the nominal wage starts going up by wage burgaining because the price of goods and services eventually goes up so that people have to burgain for their income. But, as the export demand increases the employment won't decrease as the overall productivity goes up in this economic region by rise in the interest rate. Good courage!
