Not a fair comparison.

The UK doesn't have labour mobility with the rest of Europe. Even within the EU it's not as simple as 'move from Poland to France and get a job'.

Most of the countries have different languages.

"Europe" isn't a country.

I have a lot of friends and old co workers I Europe. My Serbian coworker had no problem moving to Spain and learning Spanish. My Greek friend had no problem living in the Netherlands. Another Slovakian friend has no problem living in Scotland, same goes for a couple Germans I know in Scotland.

The Poles have no problem moving everywhere in Europe working construction jobs.

Hell the Russians have no problem spending summers working in the part of Florida I vacation at.

Moving from Serbia to Spain is obviously not equivalent to moving between US states. Come on. It's more like Scotland to England with a bit more distance involved.
