Migration in the Americas: Ripple Effects of the Salvadoran Migration to the U.S.

By immigrationprof

NPR has an interesting story (“El Salvador Migration Creates Labor Shortage”) about the small Central American nation of El Salvador, which has one of the highest rates of migration to the U.S. in the region.  The out-migration has creatied a labor shortage in El Salvador; its competitive wages, however, have attracted workers from its less well-off neighbors Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras.
