MOST WORKERS are optimistic about their career prospects following Brexit, according to a study published yesterday.

Four in five believe their wages could increase as a result of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, a survey of 1,000 employees found.

A separate poll of managers found that one in seven expects to have to slash wages if Article 50 is triggered.

Younger people were the least negative, said the report by online employment search service Jobsite.

Jobsite head Nick Gold said: “Four months have passed since the UK’s decision to leave the EU, so we are now getting a clearer understanding on people’s opinions of the future.

“Our data suggests that both employers and employees feel optimistic despite Brexit.”
