or more if the going rate for theirjob is higher than that. now, from next spring, as we ve been hearing, that minimum salary threshold will rise to £38,700. but there are exceptions in what are called shortage occupations, jobs where there are lots of vacancies which can t be filled by local people. well, not easily, anyway. and since last year, the sector which has seen the most workers come in by that route is, of course, health and social care. the numbers are remarkable. in the year to september, 66,000 people got a conventional skilled worker visa, but in the same period, 144,000 people got a health and care visa, mostly to work in care homes. but many of the foreign workers bring close family with them, too. so if you add dependents to the skilled workers, and the numbers rises to 117,000. but in health and care, the combined figure goes up to 318,000. now that s an additional 174,000 dependants who d no longer be able to come unless the worker earns more than £38,70

the goalpost keeps changing with the story. what i don t understand is why is peter doocy with only one asking these lousy questions, right? you took the exact same fact pattern and changed the name from biden to trump, every journalist in america would be hanging out waiting at the barricade waiting to get up the president, demanding answers, shouting at him. and the blitzer but because it is biden, they let it go. martha: no, you are right, take a look at the meteor coverage biden versus trump, katie. abc, cbs, nbc from august 1-8 as the testimony was happening, 33p indictment which was also happening at that time. and 4 minutes and 50 seconds on this biden transcript and the revelations from the testimony, katie. first, good job to peter for jumping over the barricade and getting a question from the
thanks, first off, for having me. it is, you know, remarkable and routine at the same time because, as you said in your previous guest pointed out, these are the third criminal charges to be lodged against the former president, and we expect charges to come from the state of georgia on his efforts to bully local officials into producing votes that were never cast for him to make that were never cast for him to make that state turn from biden to trump. so, you know, for likely trials, the same defendant. these charges seem to me on a scale far more serious
