Migrant (移民的) Workers{{/B}} In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted (限制) most {{U}}(51) {{/U}} to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, {{U}}(52) {{/U}} increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities (设施). Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers {{U}}(53) {{/U}} the U.S.A. and Europe. It has also brought in workers from many other countries, {{U}}(54) {{/U}} South Korea and Japan. In view of the difficult living and working {{U}}(55) {{/U}} in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can {{U}}(56) {{/U}} at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major {{U}}(57) {{/U}}. Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补尝的) advantage. For example, the {{U}}(58) {{/U}} living conditions often lead to increased friendshipwhen workers have to {{U}}(59) {{/U}} on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the {{U}}(69) {{/U}} of entertainment (娱乐) facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do {{U}}(61) {{/U}} work in their home country. One major problem which {{U}}(62) {{/U}} migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on {{U}}(63) {{/U}}, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be {{U}}(64) {{/U}} since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any {{U}}(65) {{/U}}, migrant Workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive. |
