Made it to page 13 of the Immigration White Paper but was ultimately defeated by this paragraph/sentence/string of words?!

Made it to page 13 of the Immigration White Paper but was ultimately defeated by this paragraph/sentence/string of words?!
Phew I thoucht it was me and my no-math brain.
As soon as I looked at the graphs in the immigration white paper, I knew they were insane.
This chart from Immigration White Paper illustrates quality of government's underlying "analysis."
1. Numbers are completely wrong (in fact non-EU employment in health/care rose by over 100K).
2. Doesn't say what time period this is.
3. Footnote to source says data is from OECD (it's from HMRC)
