Jersey can support more workers
More people could come and work in Jersey, according to the politician behind plans to change rules on the island's migration policy.

The latest population figures show 120 people left the island compared to 250 the year before.

Senator Philip Ozouf says even though fewer people seem to be leaving, there is still the capacity to support more people coming to work in the island.

Politicians are due to debate the migration policy next month.
