WalesOnline - Business - Business News - Thousands of people commute out of Wales to work every day, figures show

WalesOnline - Business - Business News - Thousands of people commute out of Wales to work every day, figures show: "In an investigation into the Welsh economy, the study – published on the Welsh Assembly Government’s statistics website – says that, compared to the start of the 21st century, there is now an increasing number of people who travel to England to work.
However, more people are travelling into Wales to work now than they did at the start of the century. The 81,000 daily workforce loss is offset by 58,200 people resident outside of Wales coming in to work here – however, that means there is a net outflow of 22,800 people each day."

Some of them are going to move out forever if we don't improve the social and economic situation on this side of the invisible border.

The further west you go the more dependant upon the public sector Wales becomes, this east/west divide is accelerating and becoming more unsustainable by the day.
