According to a study by adecco, this year spain was the country with the most amount of immigrants who left this year - close to 90,000. Even after this exodus, which is claimed to be due, at least in part, to the economic crisis Spain is facing, Spain continues to have the highest population of immigrants, with the statistic being close to 15% or 1 in every 6 people. The article also states that the economic problems have also altered migration patterns into the country, which dropped from 10.2% in 2008 to 2% in 2009.
I find this interesting, seeing as how people are constantly complaining about immigration, when in reality it is a sign of wealth. Are those people who were constantly complaining about immigrants happy now that they're leaving because of the recession? Be careful what you wish for...
