I see the furore over Keelings flying in workers to pick fruit for the summer harvest resulted in just 78 local people being eligible to do the job, out of nearly 500 applications locally.

I read that nearly 200 didn’t respond when contacted and over 200 failed initial screening. Meanwhile in the UK, I read last month that only 112 out of 50,000 people who applied actually took up roles picking fruit and veg.
