Globalization and Overseas Workers

Great slideshow (with audio), and article from the LA Times. These are part of a larger series on "The New Foreign Aid".

For some poor countries, the supply of skilled/educated workers far outpaces the local economy's ability to generate new jobs. Globalization has increasingly meant that the workers travel to other countries where their services are needed. In an earlier post, I highlighted just how dependent developing countries are on the income of these overseas workers.
