The Gulf States are receiving international workers for both high and low skilled jobs.
Mexico and Central America are having excess workers going to the US.
OCCUPATIONAL DIVERSITY
Trend 1: Advance economies have a need for workers to perform unskilled jobs (up to 70%).
Impact of this: This increase of the diversity of the workforce but not in the workplace.
Trend 2: Highly skilled people leave developing countries for opportunities that their home country cannot offer.
Impact: This spreads workforce diversity to the workplace.
