From the Telegraph:
The Institute for Public Policy Research [has] found that few local people in east London will benefit from the Olympics jobs boom in the years before 2012. [Its] report warned that 40,000 jobs would not be filled on building sites across the UK over the next four years. Of those, between 7,000 and 8,000 construction jobs are on the site of the £9.4 billion Olympics Games in east London [and] almost all of them will have to be filled by migrants, because it would take too long to train up indigenous workers to the required standard.
Another bit of legacy lost? Will link to the IPPR report when it becomes available online.
