The figure is higher than the 2.5 per cent estimated for 2023 and represents a 0.6 percentage point upgrade on the previous forecast.

There had been faster growth in foreign-born rather than domestic workforces since 2021 in economies including Canada, the eurozone, the UK and the US

Ah, so not impacting the existing workforce positively, mainly only "investors".

Ignore the errant zero, or include another. It's the same point of reference.
