from Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country · host Paper Planes Publishing

In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we explore a growing shift in the global workforce: more U.S.-based employees are leaving their jobs in America to work abroad. According to reporting from CBS News, the share of workers leaving U.S. jobs for opportunities overseas has more than doubled in recent years, driven by remote work, return-to-office mandates, rising living costs, and the search for better work-life balance.We break down why Europe, the United Kingdom, and other international destinations are becoming more attractive for tech professionals and other workers, and what this trend reveals about the future of work, mobility, and life abroad.
