The decline in the UK's work ethic, influenced by factors like the financial crisis and pandemic, has led to issues in recruitment and economic growth. Businesses like the Forrester Corporation faced challenges in finding British workers willing to work beyond 16 hours due to benefits restrictions, resulting in outsourcing to cheaper overseas contractors.
