Extra workers won't help economy says minister

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne says an extra 15,000 workers will not help the economy.

He was responding to comments the Island faces economic chaos unless it increases its population.

Mr Gawne believes improved productivity is the key.

He says thousands of additional workers would make the situation worse.
