Americans heading to Brazil for work

Who would have thought that the American labor force would be part of an invasion heading south?

The truth is Brazil is reaching out for skilled laborers, technicians, scientists and any others who can assist them in getting ready for the upcoming World Cup and Olympic Games. Though in the near future there is a lot of work to be done and with venues scattered across the country the Brazilian government wants to move swiftly and steadily with its preparations, which means bringing in outside help.

It will be interesting how many of the foreign work force decide to stay in Brazil after their immediate task is completed, rather than return to the USA.

Perhaps this is the beginning of a new migration trend.

It will be interesting to watch.
