Hospitality will be hammered by the government’s new immigration plan according to data released by Fourth. The new plan, revealed yesterday by home secretary Priti Patel, will see the salary threshold for skilled workers entering the UK lowered from £30,000 to £25,600. As 42% of employees in the hospitality industry come from the EU and are paid an average full-time salary of £18,400 (or average of £8.44 per hour) and 11% from the Rest of the World earn an average equivalent full-time salary of £19,500, the legislation will have a significant impact on the sector.
