It's not an issue with the size of the population it's an issue with having the right balance of people to do the jobs that need to be done.

I'll bet people will be coming in droves from their urban high paying jobs in HK to look for jobs picking fruit here yes.
Lol, you should really go back and read stuff before you press post.

All indications are the jobs lost due to lockdown will come back once lockdown ends. It's not those jobs you should worry about. Little Tommy who slung pints in the pub will get his job back once the pubs open up again.
You should worry about the huge drop in exports and how many jobs that will cost.

And yet at the height of the pandemic when people here were unemployed en masse they still had problems finding fruit pickers from the UK, despite the "Pick for Britain" scheme that was launched; 89% were from abroad.
But now we're in BrexitLand and regular jobs are opening again people here will be flocking to the fields to pick fruit lol. Maybe all the fishermen who are going out of business can do it.
