London ranks most popular destination for workers
London becomes the most popular city in the world to work in, according to an international survey of more than 200,000 people, with nearly one in six of those questioned wanting to move to the British capital to secure employment.
The study, conducted by The Boston Consulting Group and totaljobs.com, found respondents from 189 countries ranked London above New York and Paris.
Although the survey – described by its compilers as the most expansive study conducted on worker mobility – found that almost two thirds of jobseekers were willing to move abroad to work, within Britain only 44 percent of people want to move overseas for work.
“This report cements London’s reputation as a truly global city,” told Mike Booker, of totaljobs.com. “Not only does it offer a wealth of job opportunities in a range of industries, but it boasts some of the world’s top cultural attractions, so it’s no surprise that people across the globe want to come and work here.”
