Abstract

The rapidly escalating immigration of highly skilled individuals to the united states demonstrates the diminishing role of national politics in an increasingly supranational global economy. workers pursue opportunities beyond the confines of national borders, and corporations are able to meet the exceedingly high demand for skilled workers in a cost-effective manner by recruiting foreign nationals. Large-scale emigration of highly skilled workers, the brain drain, deeply affects both the united states, and the two largest providers of skilled migrant workers to the US, India and the People's Republic of China. Many industrialized nations find themselves in greater need of an educated labor force to supply the current demand for such workers caused by recent and significant advancements in technology. skilled workers from both India and China have taken advantage of available employment opportunities by migrating to the US in search of better life prospects. The consequential effects of this wide scale migration pattern are exacerbated by the overwhelming demand for skilled workers in the technology field, legislative loopholes, self-interested corporate policy and insufficient efforts of the developing nation to retain its highly skilled workers.
