Many of the jobs the eastern Europeans come over here to do are seasonal, ie fruit picking, any pay a lot more that the doctor & lawer jobs they have 'back home' & there seems little point them sticking around when there's no work.
Many governments have promised to cut the benefits bill & get people back to work, but they always seem to be halfhearted attempts and end up doing no good. From what research I've done, I for 1 would be better off not working; maybe the system should be geared more to helping those who are genuinely poor & work instead of handing cash out to people to sit at home all day.
