Australia popular with British workers

Many workers from the UK would be willing to relocate to Australia, a new survey has revealed.

According to Manpower, the country is an attractive option for the 53 per cent of Britons who would consider working overseas.

Mark Cahill, managing director of the organisation, said some British people are keen to venture abroad as it would be a good opportunity to experience a new culture.

He added that since many foreign migrants are seeking employment in the UK, the movement of UK nationals overseas would not present a problem to employers.

Mr Cahill commented: "Today's labour market has a constant circulation of workers - out of the UK as well as into the country."

This comes after Paul Arthur of The Emigration Group revealed that Australia is proving to be very popular with skilled professionals such as doctors and architects.

Speaking to the Western Mail, he said The Australian economy is "booming", which has made it an appealing destination for those who wish to progress in their career.
