The provided table displays the amount of temporary migrant worker in Australia, New Zealand, UK, and US in year 2003 and 2006, as well as the amount of these workers in every 1,000 people in each country in 2006. From a brief observation, it can be seen that the number of working temporary migrants of each country had a considerable amount of rise from 2003 to 2006. It is also interesting to note that there is a starking contrast between the amount of workers with the lowest (New Zealand) and highest (US) working temporary migrants.
To begin with, the amount of temporary migrant workers of Australia, New Zealand, UK, and US had each rose from 152,000 to 219,000; 65,000 to 87,000; 137,000 to 266,000; and 577,000 to 678,000 respectively. But these numbers didn’t correlate to the numbers of workers per 1,000 people in each country, as could be seen with US as the country with highest worker numbers came last with only 2,3; while New Zealand who had the least worker numbers came first with 21,1.
It could be concluded that only a little amount of Americans worked temporarily overseas in 2006, while New Zealand had more than one-fifth of their people doing the opposite in the same year.
