London Most Popular Immigration Destination for Foreign Professionals
17-01-2012
New research has suggested that London is the most popular immigration location for foreign professionals. The study, which surveyed 160,000 jobseekers in a range of sectors, found that the banking, legal and creative industries in the city are a major attraction to workers across the globe.
This research has also shown that the majority of migrants currently working and living in London are those from countries facing economic difficulties, such as Ireland, Greece and Portugal. This is backed up by the idea that participants all over the world decreed that the higher standard of living in the UK is one of the main reasons to relocate to London.
The most popular destination after London was New York, followed by Singapore, Paris, Sydney and Dubai.
The study also found that more UK residents than ever were interested in relocating abroad, around 63%, a thirty percent increase in two years.
