I imagine alot of people who have agreed to start work in May are backing out. Especially the younger kids fresh out of college. . anyone work in HR or know somebody that does and have some insight into this?. .

Prob will be alot of new job openings in the next month or so?

true but if this was going on last year and I was living in America watching CNN I prob would not have come here. . Id imagine those numbers have doubled or tripled. .

True enough, but it really depends on their motive for coming here. Those wishing a brief stint in an Asian country may well opt for other alternatives. However, as robbi would say, the lure of the flange is strong

I would haver thought the lack of education was the cause of the problem in LOS.
