Future Jobs In The UK

Superior Essays
Lastly, it is commonly underestimated how much value being a member in the EU has on the jobs available in the country and the future job prospects available to all. There are two main sources of jobs in the UK: tourism and businesses. I will discuss both of these roots in detail so as to help understand how the changes made whilst we are in the EU and changes about whether or not we stay in the EU filter down to affect the very number of jobs accessible. 3.1 million Jobs in the UK (about 10% of all jobs) are tourism-related and there are 249,000 tourism businesses in the UK . So if we were to pull out of the EU then this would evidently drop as it would be slightly harder to get in with added border controls and restrictions for immigrants, …show more content…
This legislation is found in Article 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and aims to allow all businesses to do business across the EU whilst limiting monopolies and cartels . Part of being situated in the UK is because of the links with the EU and if they lost these benefits (if the UK left the EU) that they would have to relocate to somewhere that was in the EU. This is called Foreign Direct Investment and in 2009 the UK was the 5th largest recipient of this with there being about £1.125 trillion FDI stock . The free trade policy means that there are no tariffs or quotas placed on companies exporting goods or services within the EU which makes it a lot easier for business to do trade between the many economies and countries. In the year to March 2015, the UK sold £144.5 billion exports of good to the UK and bought £223.7 billion worth of imports into the UK . As a nation the UK does a huge amount of trade with the EU which therefore leads to this policy saving the UK a lot of money. Tariffs and quotas are not only expensive in themselves, they ensure that the products cost more for the consumer. This forces many people to buy cheaper, yet similar, alternatives. Additionally this is enforced by the common commercial policy which are the rules that place tariffs, quotas or subsides on imports from outside of the Eurozone which tries to encourage people to buy the good from inside the EU if they live within the EU . For example the budget airline, EasyJet, recently said to UK Government officials that ‘its entire business is only possible because EU countries agree to apply common rules to companies operating across borders’

    Benefits of the UK Staying in the EU Ever since its admittance to the European Union in 1993, the question of whether to stay in the EU remains a highly debated issue in Britain. The European Union is the primary governing organization of Europe, consisting of 28 countries and 500 million people who participate in the world’s economy as a single market. This permits people, goods, services, and capital to move freely around Europe with reduced regulations for the collective benefit of European residents and consumers. Considering the EU’s global presence and Britain 's affluent status, Britain plays a significant role in the EU’s 30% of world GDP. While there are supportable arguments for the UK leaving the UK in the short term, it is in the…

    North Carolina’s economy is hurting and jobs are being lost due to imports becoming more expensive. North Carolina wants to impose a tariff to ultimately help its economy and I believe they have the right to due to the North American Free Trade Agreement. According to our book, Pearson Business Law, this is actually the “safety valve” that was put into place for suffering economies. It is allowed to impose tariffs if the other country’s imports are hurting the state’s economy.…

    Ever since I was a little girl, I have had the desire to help others. Many people have the same desire in their life, but for me it’s very different.

Seeing people struggle is very hard for me because I am incredibly empathetic.…

    For 43 years, since 1973 , Britain has been an active member of the European Union (EU) and played an important role in the development of this community. However, it is the hot topic that UK Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a referendum to be held on June 2017, in order to answer the question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the EU or leave the EU?” It is uncertain what the exact answer is, since no country has ever done it before. However, people are trying to give different scenarios, weighting the pros and cons of leaving the EU, and it seems like the cons is outweighing the pros on the large scale, namely politics, economics and social impacts. A brief history…

    While the UK is part of the union they must follow all of the trading agreements put in place with the other 27 countries (Alex Huntt 3), but if they leave they will be allowed to establish their own agreements. England has said that they would regain their fishing rights around their coast as soon as they can because that would allow them to gain back some of the money that may lose due to the larger companies trading only within the EU. The Barclays have tried to put the worst case scenario in place and all they could find was that if one of the most powerful countries in the EU leaves it would end up providing the anti-EU countries a boost in their finances because of large companies looking for new trading partners in order to get out of the argument, which is called the Pandora’s Box. Also, while England is in the European Union they must leave their borders open and they are not allowed to check nor control people. The Pro-Brexit has said that if they become part of other unions they will be able to gain control of borders according to UK politics news and Colonel Richard Kemp mentioned that “failure to close the border increases the terrorist threat here, which endangers our people and is a betrayal to this country.”…

    On Thursday, June 23rd the people of Britain went to the polls and made a decision that will reshape history for the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. The referendum vote to leave the European Union, commonly referred to as Brexit, is not one many people predicted would pass. However, a combination of factors––economic, social, and political––building up enough tension and anxiety in the British people, lead a very split electorate to the polls where the referendum vote was their outlet to express their dissatisfaction with the status-quo. Although Britain went to the polls a divided nation, bringing out individuals each with distinct reasons for wanting their country to leave the European Union, it is clear the country must coalesce…

    David Cameron, the United Kingdom’s current Prime Minister, has announced that he will be stepping down from his position in October, because he was a big supporter of the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union. There’s also speculation that government programs such as retirement pensions and free health care may change or even be a thing of the past. British people will also now need visas to travel throughout the European Union, because in the EU people can move freely from country to country without a visa or other travel requirements. The big question is why would the United Kingdom want to leave the European Union? The EU has many good qualities for countries who are members: State provided medical care for citizens (even when outside your own country), free travel and movement from country to country, and a single market that allows open trade without having to pay tariffs.…
