The Caribbean has a long history as a migration hub, with many of its inhabitants having sought employment opportunities by moving either within the region or to a number of key receiving countries, including the United States, Canada, and former colonial powers such as the United Kingdom and France. Patchy data complicates efforts to draw an accurate picture of regional migration trends, but available evidence suggests that while absolute numbers of emigrants coming from the Caribbean are low compared to other developing regions, this is a result of the small populations in Caribbean countries, rather than low levels of migration.

openings. Plenty of people are applying for the jobs. The problem, the
companies say, is a mismatch between the kind of skilled workers
needed and the ranks of the unemployed. Economists expect that Friday's government employment report
will show that ...

that looks at a conundrum: Manufacturers have jobs to fill, but there's a mismatch between the kind of skilled workers needed and the ranks of the unemployed. In the recession, domestic manufacturers “appear to have accelerated the long-term move toward greater automation, laying off more of their lowest-skilled workers and replacing them with cheaper labor abroad,” The Times says. “Now they are looking to hire people who can operate sophisticated computerized machinery, follow complex blueprints and demonstrate higher math proficiency than was previously required of the typical assembly line worker.”
