Its raining jobs. Or so it seems in several parts of the world. Especially in the USA, India, China and some European countries where established industries and new age industries are both creating jobs.
The professionals required to fill these jobs or vacancies are not always found in the host country that is creating these jobs. Professionals to fill up these positions have to be sourced from other regions within the same country or in many cases from other countries. For example the huge demand for English teachers in Eastern Europe, China and Japan is being filled by professionals from India and England.
This is because both these countries have a large number of people proficient in English. Software jobs in the US in the late 90s were being filled up by Indians while today Japan is doing the same. Steel industries in the break away republics of Russia are today trying to recruit professionals from the iron and steel industry in India.
