Ukrainians Make Good Migrants

Some people think Ukrainians make good migrants

"Unemployment hit 10.2% as the demand-driven retail sector cut jobs. If you want more jobs, you need more demand, and for that you need more people--especially immigrants on a mission to live better through higher materialism. It might be best to recruit immigrants from Ukraine and Russia, because they like to shop in SoHo."


It's an interesting thought - there are already research papers on whether FDI from some countries is better than FDI from others - it should be possible to estimate whether migrants from some countries are more beneficial for the home economy than from other countries - though I'm sure some people would claim such research to be politically incorrect.
