Skilled Workers: Visas
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what percentage of holders of Skilled Worker visas are net contributors to the Exchequer.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
The Migration Advisory Committee advises government on migration issues. In their 2024 annual report, they estimated the average skilled worker migrant has a positive net fiscal impact of £16,300.
Their analysis does not provide a distributional breakdown within Skilled Worker visa holders.
