A new poll has revealed that more individuals have relocated from Germany to the United States in the last year than any other country
New figures have shown that more Germans have relocated to the United States within the past year than ever before.
For the first time in five years, Germany (21%) has sent more individuals to the U.S than the United Kingdom (18%).
This represented a 24.9% rise in the number of employees relocating from Germany to the United States compared to last year.
In contrast, both China and the U.K saw significant declines in the number of employees who relocated in the same direction.
The significant rise in the number of German nationals looking to relocate to the U.S is thought to be mainly due to the steady rate at which the German economy is growing at, despite the continuous problems within the Euro zone generally.
Several German companies and individuals are thought to be using this success as a catalyst to explore new business and investment opportunities throughout the world.
The United States appears to be top of their list at the moment.
The rest of the top ten was made up from an eclectic mix including Switzerland, France, Australia, Japan, Belgium and Singapore.
Six out of the top ten was made up of European countries which is particularly interesting because it shows that relations between the United States and some of the key European nations remain as strong as ever.
Singapore, Japan and China’s emergence is also significant. Asia has been expanding their investment portfolio across the globe in recent years.
The decision made by large companies and individuals from countries such as these to relocate to the U.S suggest that they know where the best opportunities are, and they are prepared to travel for them.
The results also show that the United States remains one of the most popular destinations for relocation in the world.
It seems that, even as they go through a financial crisis of their own, they are still one of the world leaders in terms of driving the global economy forward.
