Reduce the minimum salary requirement for the New Skilled Workers route of 2024
Reduce the £38,700 per year salary threshold requirement for immigrants to obtain a job via the skilled workers route, which has been implemented in 2024.
The minimum salary threshold has increased to £38,700; we believe this is unrealistic and impossible for many people. We are concerned it will have a significant impact on graduates as starting salaries at many companies are lower than this. We believe it is unfair and discriminatory when a person has been studying for 4-5 years, contributing to the country via tax and building relationships only to be forced to leave if they cannot find a job with a salary above the minimum threshold. Thus, we believe it should be reduced.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
