Seriously? 6% of a nation of 300 million people -- that's 18 million Americans who have left if what you say is true. And if that is true, it would be like the Philippines or South Korea.
Source, please? |
Please check your facts before posting. The population of the Philippines is around 100 million. The population of South Korea is around 50 million.
Anyway, how is Japan? |

Ummm...
My point was not that America's population would shrink to 50 or 100 million.
My point was that if tens of millions of Americans were working/living abroad due to the bad economy/high competition for jobs at home, it would be similar to South Korea and the Philippines (which each both have several of million of their citizens living abroad). |

Note the use of the word "work".
He didn't say he doesn't live or reside in Costa Rica
I love these word games!

Yes, I live in Costa Rica but I don't work there. That is correct. |

Are you talking about teaching English? I heard that teachers there earn, on average, $400-$1,000 a month. |
