Many in so-called employment are in low-productivity zero-hours jobs; more have left the labour force either because wages are too low, or because they are on NHS waiting lists. Add small businesses wasting effort fighting hostile and under-resourced public services. Add the option to relax immigration policy for key workers… Perhaps there is more spare capacity than raw figures suggest.
