The table displays how many non-permanent immigrant laborers were employed in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States in 2003 and 2006, and the figure for this foreign workforce per 1,000 people in the countries given in 2006.
Overall, the short-term employee numbers increased in all countries throughout the period given. The U.S. had the greatest numbers in both years, while Great Britain had the sharpest rise. New Zealand had the highest worker number per 1,000 individuals in 2006.
The U.S. accepted 577,000 workers from overseas in 2003, which increased to 678,000 three years later. In contrast to the highest demand for workers, it had the lowest density of worker number per thousand people in 2006. The United Kingdom employed 137,000 staff members at the beginning of the period; however, it nearly doubled to 266,000 in 2006, making it the nation with the second-highest temporary employees.
Australia’s immigrant staff number significantly increased by approximately a third from 152,000 to 219,000 across the years, compared to New Zealand’s extra laborer demand, which rose from 65,000 in 2003 to 87,000 in 2006. Nevertheless, almost 21 out of 1,000 people were migrant employees there.
