Where People Are Moving Overseas
The United States remains one of the most popular destinations for immigrants worldwide. More people move to the USA to work and live than anywhere else on earth. But residents of the U.S are moving out of the country as well. Whether it be for jobs or a better quality of life, people relocate to new countries all the time. Outside of the United States, some of the most popular destinations are in Europe and the far east.
Germany has the highest immigration rates in the European Union. It also has the largest economy in Europe and the 4th largest economy in the world. People immigrate to Germany for a variety of reasons including employment in a high tech manufacturing economy and high level of social services. Germany is also home to a large US military base which may be attractive to American businesses. Other countries in Europe like Spain and the United Kingdom also see high raters of immigrants.
In the far east, Japan remains one of the most popular destinations for immigration. Japan has the third largest economy in the world behind the United States and China. It hosts a high tech manufacturing and service economy with limited land space. Japan, like Germany, also has US military bases which attract American families and businesses. Japan has been known for stagnant growth in the last couple of decades, but they maintain a low unemployment rate and a high standard of living.
