Re: London will be overrun by 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians
Minimum wage does not tell the whole story. You need median wage compared to cost of living. If by moving to the UK my wage goes up 80% but my cost of living goes up 100% then I'm at a 20% loss in disposable income. I have no idea what those numbers really are but people move for the prospect of a better life not simply a higher income. There are lots of Mexicans that come to the US and work for 6 months and then go back home for the rest of the year. They do this b/c the cost of living is SO much cheaper in Mexico.
