The pie charts show the main reasons for migration to and from the UK in 2007.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.

The two pie charts compare why people moved in and out of the United Kingdom in the
year 2007, with six percentage-wise factors shown.

Overall, getting a definite job was the primary reason for migration. It is also apparent
that formal study was the least influential in terms of emigration.

Look at the details, the proportions of people moving to and leaving the UK for
employment reasons were relatively similar, at 30% and 29% in turn. Another leading
factor for entering this country was to pursue education, with over a quarter, while only
a minority (5%) emigrated for this.

Furthermore, there was a modest difference between the percentages of immigration

and emigration caused by accompanying or joining a family, at 15% and 13%.
Occupation seeking comprised 12% for the former, and 10% slightly more than that for
the latter. Although over three in ten people chose other motives or did not state why
they emigrated, these accounted for half of that (17%) regarding immigration.
