I doubt it's career sandwich makers -- people may currently qualify through continuation but are probably doing the job as a short term (eg working through Uni). When they finish the next tranche of workers won't have established residency and so won't qualify for visas.

That aside, if someone is here under freedom of movement that doesn't mean they qualify for a work visa, surely? No low-skill jobs would meet the income threshold needed to get a visa?



They're not required to apply for a work visa if they're already in the UK. The process is infinitely easier to receive pre-settled/settled status.
