The provided table presents data on the quantity of temporary migrant workers in four different countries in the years 2003 and 2006, as well as the ratio of these workers per 1,000 individuals in the respective countries for the year 2006.
Overall, the United States exhibited the highest growth rate, experiencing an approximate increase of 130,000 temporary migrant workers from 2003 to 2006. The United States consistently had the largest number of temporary migrant workers, exceeding half a million in both years, while New Zealand had the fewest. Interestingly, Australia had a lower number of migrant workers in 2003 compared to the United Kingdom, but this trend reversed in 2006.
In terms of absolute numbers, the United States had the highest number of temporary migrant workers in both 2003 and 2006, with figures exceeding 500,000. Conversely, New Zealand had the smallest number of temporary migrant workers in both years, with a substantial increase from 65,000 in 2003 to 87,000 in 2006. Notably, Australia had fewer migrant workers than the United Kingdom in 2003, but by 2006, the United Kingdom had surpassed Australia in this regard.
Analyzing the ratio of temporary migrant workers per 1,000 people in these nations in 2006 reveals a contrasting pattern. Even though New Zealand had the fewest temporary migrant workers at 87,000, it had the highest ratio of 21.1 workers per 1,000 people. On the other hand, the United States, with the highest number of temporary migrant workers, had the lowest ratio at 2.3 workers per 1,000 people. This discrepancy highlights a significant disparity in the distribution of temporary migrant workers across these countries. In conclusion, there was a consistent increase in the number of temporary migrant workers in all four countries from 2003 to 2006.
