Net in-migration from the EU to the UK dropped to 90,000 in the 12 months ending September 2017 - the first time this figure has dropped below 100K since March 2013, and the lowest figure since 2012.
Although overall - EU plus non-EU - long-term net migration to the UK was +244,000 for the 12 months ending September 2017, note that the UK government has a Brexit-driven goal of reducing this overall net immigration figure to 100,000.
Shortages of immigrant workers are increasingly problematical for some UK industries like tourism, hospitality, agriculture and health care.
Stay tuned.
