Strongly agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

The Labour party is focused on investing in education and training for UK citizens to prepare them for high-skilled jobs. In their 2019 manifesto, they pledged to create a National Education Service, which would provide lifelong learning and training opportunities for UK citizens. This aligns with the idea of providing more incentives to prepare citizens for these jobs.
