It has emerged that the UK has taken a third of the young migrants involved in the "Your First EURES Job" programme.
Some 1,178 unemployed young people from the Continent have been found jobs, training or apprenticeships in Britain under the "jobs mobility" programme since it was set up in 2012.
That accounted for 34.7 per cent of the 3,387 jobs handed out so far, much higher than second place Germany, which has provided 659 placements. At the same time, just 25 Britons under 30 have found work under the scheme, less than 1 per cent of the total.
The scheme offers up to €5,000 (€3,500) in relocation expenses and course fees per participant. The average cost per head of the scheme was €1,818, according to official figures.
A report into the scheme acknowledged that it was moving people from economies of high unemployment to Britain.
"The high number of placements in the UK could be due to the dynamics of the UK labour market," it said. "A high share of outgoing job finders in certain countries (Italy and Spain) mirrors the situation of the EU labour market, as these countries have high youth unemployment rates.
"Similarly to previous quarters, the UK remains the main country of destination."
The mines have long been idle. All of this has little to do with 'jobs. 'Surdom requires surfs. Big gov't cannot survive without them.
