Claim: 95% of new workers are foreigners.
Fact-check: Foreigners working in the UK - Full Fact
Verdict: incorrect. these employment figures don't tell us the number of new workers, only the overall change in employment. the claim also defines "foreigners" as all people born outside the uk, including those who are uk citizens. about 450,000 more people in the uk were employed in july-september 2016 than had been the year before, and roughly half of the increase was due to an increase in the number of non-british citizens.
