This statistic shows the percentage of British respondents that felt that immigrants are generally good for the economy when asked in 2003 and 2013. More British citizens seem to be recognising the economic benefits that immigrants bring to Britain, with the percentage of respondents whom agreed that immigration is good for the economy rising significantly, by eleven percentage points. Conversely, it is worth noting that in 2013 the majority of people did not believe that immigrants were good for the British economy.
