This statistic shows the result of a question from the British Social Attitudes survey which asked what kind of effect, if any, the respondents think immigration has on the economy. The respondents have been split here by education level. The starkest difference to observe here is that of the degree holders in comparison to the others. The majority of those with a degree thought that immigration has a good effect on the economy whilst those in the other groups with such a belief were in the minority.
"What kind of effect do you think immigration generally has on Britain's economy?"*
(by education level)
* Original survey question:
"On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is extremely bad and 10 is extremely good, would you say it is generally bad or good for Britain's economy that migrants come to Britain from other countries?
"
Figures do not sum to 100 due to the effects of rounding.
