Brexit was driven by fears that Eastern European migrants were "taking jobs" and "overburdening public services." Yet, just a few short years after the UK's departure from the European Union, the narrative has drastically changed. Now, business owners are calling for Eastern European workers to return to fill critical labor shortages. So, what went wrong? In this video, we explore the impact of Eastern European migration on the UK economy, the consequences of Brexit, and why the country may have underestimated just how much it needed its migrant workforce. From the failed ‘Pick for Britain’ campaign to labor shortages in agriculture and hospitality, discover how Brexit backfired in ways few expected.
