In the UK, employment in construction fell by 4% in 2009 as against 2.1% for the whole economy (Van den Brink and Anagboso, 2010). The smaller fall than in Spain is largely due to the different structure of the British construction industry, with a bigger share of large public projects, less linked to the economic cycle, and a smaller share of the very volatile second-home market. In the UK, there is no statistical source equivalent to the migrant-focused Spanish National Immigrants Survey and annual Migration Surveys. The most similar data, from the LES, notoriously underestimates the number of migrants and especially migrant construction workers (and therefore of their job losses), as the LFS is a household survey neglecting temporary accommodations (Van den Brink and Anagboso, 2010). But even with these limitations, LFS data indicate more job losses for foreign workers’ employment fell by 3.7%, while it fell by 2.2% for British nationals (Coleman, 2010). As in Spain, the gap in employment elasticity between nationals and immigrants is larger in construction than in the whole economy (Table 1). The real gap may be much larger due to the underestimation of foreign workers in construction, where LFS data are collected from house and migrants are often not detected, in comparison to manufacturing, where they are collected from employers and show a faster employment fall.
