Six in ten British workers believe Brexit will boost their salaries and are confident that quitting the EU will have a positive effect on their career prospects.

Initial research into the June 23 referendum suggested there were no major differences in the way men and women voted.
Only a third of respondents said they would consider pursuing a career in a different EU country in the wake of the Brexit vote.
Those working in the engineering and technical services industries are the most optimistic about post-Brexit Britain, with 62 per cent of both sectors believing the success of the company they work at could improve.
Ex-Chancellor George Osborne (pictured) warned people could begin losing their jobs 'very quickly' as a result of the 'economic shock' of a vote to leave
The findings from the popular job search website is further proof that the doom mongering warnings on the impact of last month's historic Brexit vote were overblown.
Former Chancellor George Osborne warned people could begin losing their jobs 'very quickly' as a result of the 'economic shock' of a vote to leave.
But instead major firms last week announced the creation of thousands of new jobs in the UK.
McDonald's said it was accelerating plans to create an extra 5,000 jobs by the end of 2017 while pharmaceuticals giant GlaxofSmith Kline announced a £275million investment at sites across the UK, dubbing Britain an 'attractive location for investment' despite Brexit.
There were announcements of job losses at Lloyds last week but the banking giant, whose half-year profits more than doubled to £2.5billion - immediately faced a backlash after it blamed the decision on Brexit 'uncertainty'.
Experts said the real reason behind the cut in jobs was the rise in internet banking.
Nick Gold, chief executive at Jobsite, said the reality in the aftermath of the vote had shown workers to be much more optimistic about the future than the divided opinions expressed.
'Following the UK's decision to leave the EU, opinions have been split. However, as the immediate aftermath of the decision begins to settle, our research shows that people are beginning to be a bit more optimistic about the future,' he said.
'Our advice to both employers and their employees is to continue as you normally would. The number of opportunities posted on Jobsite have remained consistent since the vote and we do not expect there to be an immediate shift in hiring or career opportunities.'
