A Washington Post story exhorts jobless Americans to seek jobs overseas, in such places like Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore. An extract:
"Sean Love, 27, traded a job as a medical research assistant in an 'understaffed and underfunded' lab at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore for a similar job in Singapore. But the new position comes with better funding, happier co-workers, twice the number of vacation days, nearly free health care and a much higher quality of life.
Love’s girlfriend, who had spent months fruitlessly searching for a nonprofit job in the Baltimore-Washington area, had two appealing job offers within two months of moving to Singapore. Other friends who moved to Asia had similar experiences."
