Magnet of London draws in thousands of migrant workers
Article Abstract:
London, England, which now has the strongest job market in Europe, is attracting many economic migrants. Some are young people looking for entry-level employment, while others are older, more experienced workers attracted by the career opportunities offered by London's economy. Foreigners are particularly attracted to the UK job market because of its flexibility. UK employers tend to be more willing than their continental European counterparts to train people who have few formal qualifications, and place strong emphasis on attitude. However, foreigners still represent only a small proportion of the overall workforce.

The new business world belongs to the young
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common for young people to combine education with experience of the world of work. Many students are now taking part-time work to earn money, while higher education courses with a large vocational element have also become very popular. It is also becoming more common for young people aged between 16 and 25 to set up their own business ventures. It is important for companies to be aware of this trend and to consider ways in which they can capture and encourage entrepreneurship among young people.
