A report by recruitment firm Hays suggests the United Kingdom faces a shortage of skilled workers for in-demand job sectors, including technology, manufacturing and banking.

Evening Standard social editor Deeya Sonalkar describes her experiences navigating the Home Office's labyrinthine visa system, and our business editor Jonathan Prynn discusses the economic implications.
