Meet The Growing Number Of Americans Who Want To Move Abroad
Business Insider ^ | Nov. 8, 2011, 5:21 PM | Abby Rogers and Gus Lubin
Posted on November 10, 2011 11:11:16 PM EST by Niuhuru
A growing number of Americans is thinking about turning expat, according to a survey by America Wave and Zogby International.
The share of Americans planning to relocate increased to 2.5 percent from 0.8 percent in 2009. If this number describes the entire population, that means around 6 million Americans are planning on leaving the country.
America Wave's Bob Adams (a Business Insider contributor) found that single people, political conservatives and men were more likely to be in this group.

don't be so harsh. That number includes people who are just leaving for their job or for a new job. Some are just going back to where they came from for various reasons. Others are leaving for family reasons, there's a shit load of reasons people leave other than discontentment.

Chinese Immigrants Are Fleeing Back To China Because 'The American Dream Is Dead'
Business Insider ^ | 11/16/2011 | Gus Lubin
Chinatowns around America have shrunk during the past decade, and Chinese immigration has declined since 2006.
Why?
Because Chinese think the American Dream is dead.
(Or, more pertinently, has moved to China.)
The Atlantic's Bonnie Tsui talked to a few people at a career center in San Francisco's Chinatown to get a sense of the exodus. Of course it is centered around jobs.
Lately, [Career Counselor] Yu has been seeing a shift; rather than coming, her clients have been going—in pursuit of what might be called the Chinese Dream.
“Now the American Dream is broken,” [Chinese immigrant] Shen tells me one evening at the career center, his fingers drumming restlessly on the table; he speaks mostly in Mandarin, and Yu helps me translate. Shen has mostly been unemployed, picking up part-time work when he can find it. Back in China, he worked as a veterinarian and at a school of traditional Chinese culture. “In China, people live more comfortably: in a big house, with a good job. Life is definitely better there.” On his fingers, he counts out several people he knows who have gone back since he came to the United States. When I ask him if he thinks about returning to China, he glances at his daughter, who is sitting nearby, then looks me in the eye. “My daughter is thriving,” he says, carefully. “But I think about it every day.”

You should consider moving to Somalia. There are no business regulations, no taxes and no building codes.
It would be a virtual paradise for dimwits such as yourself

Looks like it is happening. Obama is causing migration out of the economy with his kamikaze policies.

Another bullshit story trying to scare up a bit of fear mongering in the dimwits who read it.

This is probably the exact same crowd that said they were leaving when Obama took office in 2008. And the exact same crowd that said they were leaving when Bush got his second term.
Nothing but hot air and chest thumping. And yet the dumb bitches never go anywhere.

Americans leaving US in record numbers
RT ^ | 12/8/2011
Ever dream of leaving it all behind and heading out of America? You’re not the only one. A new study shows that more US citizens than ever before are living outside of the country. According to statistics from the US State Department, around 6.4 million Americans are either working or studying overseas, which Gallup says is the largest number ever for such statistic.
The polling organization came across the number after conducting surveys in 135 outside nations and the information behind the numbers reveal that this isn’t exactly a longtime coming either — numbers have skyrocketed only in recent years. In the 24 months before polling began, the number of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 living abroad managed to surge from barely 1 percent to over 5.1 percent. For those under the age span wishing to move overseas, the percentage has jumped in the same amount of time from 15 percent to 40.
While the United States of America was at one point (and largely still is) a magnet for foreigners in search of work, the statistics makes it clear that an opposite trend is quickly picking up steam. "There's a feeling among more entrepreneurial Americans that if you really want to get anything done, you have to get out of country and away from the depressing atmosphere," Bob Adams of America Wave tells Reuters. “There's a sense of lost direction, so more people are looking for locations that offer more hope about the future."

Obama has blamed ATM machines at least two times already, so it is very germaine and it is very enlightening into just how stupid and incompetent Obama actually is.
Anyone even letting something so economically illiterate and uninformed leave his lips says volumes.
Bro again - idiots like yourself and mal, and lurkwer, and straw, and andre, etc kneepadded and made excuses for obama for three years now! ! ! i have been telling you from day 1 obama was poison for this nation and most people realize it now.

Considering you kneepadded obama endlessly for three years, despite the obvious damage and destruction he was intentionally doing, you have a long way to go before you shed that distinction.

nope, it's in the hundreds
this link is inside the link you posted earlier where they talk about the #'ss
http://intltax.typepad.com/intltax_blog/2011/06/us-citizens-continue-to-renounce.html
Last month the Treasury Department published the names of individuals who renounced their United States citizenship or terminated their long-term U.S. residency (“expatriated”) during the quarter ending March 31, 2011. A total of 499 individuals expatriated during this quarter. While 499 is not the highest number of quarterly expatriates in recent history, the quarterly average number of expatriates continues to increase. The following graph shows the quarterly average number of expatriates for the past 4 years
also, per the link, these #'s are people who have renounced their US citizenship and they include long term permanent residents who were not citizens.
-
499???????????????
I guess that all those doctors who walked off their jobs. They couldn't handle the rioting in the street. So they took their duffel bags and left the US.
::)

if you increased the total one hundred fold it would still be mere speck and keep in mind that number of 499 included long term permanent residents who simply gave up their status and went back to their country of origin.

ok, it seems that ex-pats are those formally renouncing citizenship - but that is not the same as those leaving but not renouncing citizenship status but looking for work, etc.
