There are fucking tonnes of jobs. Whether or not it is rational to take them and have to pay all your costs is another story.
Unfortunately, most of those jobs are for immigrant workers. Those that were not born in the UK ( pedantics ).
Migrant men are more likely to be employed than UK-born men, but among women, migrants are less likely to be in employment.
You can tell it's mainly females doing the recruiting.
Don't believe me?
Check the stats.

Interestingly, not sure how legal or not, with Boris at the helm I suppose anything goes, but employment agencies specialising in migrant workers, of which there are now hundreds, are getting both foreign AND British workers to sign a document that apparently gets round the hard fought maximum 48 hours working UK law. They are getting everyone to basically sign away their rights to get a job. Zero hour contract, self-employed, 10-12 hour shifts.
Put that in your pipe.
