Separate figures show the number of EU nationals working in Britain increasing by 101,000, its lowest amount since September 2013. Kallum Pickering, senior U.K. economist at Berenberg Bank, said Friday that Brexit is "working" already on the migration front, and that it may make the political calculus facing the British government a little bit easier. One of the pillars of being a member of the EU is the free movement of people to live and work anywhere in the EU. In 2017, the eurozone economy expanded by 2.5 percent, way ahead of Britain's 1.7 percent. Also, the relative attraction of Britain financially has diminished, indirectly because of the Brexit vote.
