The provided graph illustrates the number of employees whose decision to temporarily move abroad was categorized by four countries in the years 2003 and 2006, as well as the rate of the mentioned groups per thousand in 2006.
Overall, there was an upward trend of temporary migrant workers after the period of four years (from 2003 to 2006). The US accounted for the largest proportion among these four nations, while New Zealand was the country holding the highest rate of 1,000 people at the end of the period. However, it was the citizens of the United Kingdom who preferred working in another country to their homeland due to its highest population compared to the others.
In details, the number of temporary migrant workers in the UK increased by 129,000 (from 137,000 to 266,000), followed by the US with 101,000 people (from 577,000 to 678,000) between 2003 and 2006. The figures for Australia and New Zealand slightly increased by 67,000 (from 152,000 to 219,000 for the former) and 22,000 (from 65,000 to 87,000 for the latter). On the flip side, New Zealand stood in the first position with 21.1 per thousand people in 2006, followed by Australia with 10.7. The other two countries both stayed below five: 4.4 for the UK and 2.3 for the US.
