And in favour the Australian government are now fast tracking American trades skills with families in view of permanent or dual citizenship...

Australia has some pretty strict rules on moving there- it is difficult to get approval.

So glad I'm studying something in demand in most of the world.

But outsiders will come to UK if Brits leave.

The other reason Brits are and want leave Brittan is because of multiculturalism, i have read a news article where in Brittan English spoken at home and at school are becoming a minority.

Here's the article

Children who speak English as their first language are in a
minority in a rapidly growing number of schools, figures reveal.

Thats another reason why 48% might leave even though, the sun doesn't state it, but its a reason.

Britain has got to be one of the most leadenly gray, oppressive, and miserable places on the planet. I think they surpass the CHinese communists for utter misery of existence.

I am not sure I'd let them into the USA, to be honest. Their mode of thought appears to me to be diseased in a very fundamental way. I would anticipate them coming here and then wanting to change us to be more like them in the way the snow birds from shit holes like Chicago came and ruined Arizona with their liberalism and grass lawns in the middle of low, hard desert.

Brits just freak out, for example, when they see a gun. I've experienced this first hand when a Brit passing through WV saw me with a large stainless revolver on my hip and damned near stroked out on the spot. It was clear from his outward behavior that he was on the ragged edge of his self control in the parking lot of the McDonald's in Hinton. His eyes were bulging out of his head and oddly enough he started getting cheeky with me; all indications that he was under serious psychological stress at the sight of a man with a gun. I would just as soon not admit such people here. We have enough sissies with whom we must contend as it is. I see no good reason to add to the ranks, stacking political enemies against ourselves.

If 48% REALLY want to leave, that is a HUGE proportion. Instead of leaving like the pussies they appear to be, how about they get serious about correcting the insane governance under which they must endure? That large a percentage of any population has power, but apparently not the will to make happen what they want. They CHOOSE to leave things as they are, so screw them and the dildos the rode in on. Let them lie in the beds they made for themselves and let them not take the easy way out, having contributed to the pollution of one nation only to pull up stakes to do so in another. To hell with that and to hell with them if they value the ground of their births so cheaply. I for one am not interested in having such people as my countrymen.

Just my worthless opinion.

I once saw an American litter in London. Why are all 313,000,000 Americans such assholes?

Ya the problem is we're only about nearly 22 million with a country the size of USA, where Australia somehow is supplying most of the world and is rank 5th biggest economy and has AAA banking ratings in the world (having 4 of its major banks at top 10), on top of that the most skilled and technical of the country are very highly sought after and are poached to work overseas....

Australia’s resources and construction sectors are booming to the point where labourers cannot keep up with its success. In an effort to fill the gaps, the nation is calling on skilled US workers to come take on the work – and they’re speeding up the process to grant them provisional Australian licenses.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, electricians and plumbers are two examples of licensed occupations the Australian Government is looking to hire. Demand for skilled construction workers is also expected to rise significantly over the next 3-5 years.

US Ambassador to Australia Jeffrey Bleich said the opportunity is a win-win for both countries. "It matches highly skilled American workers who are available with a temporary skills shortage here in Australia to make sure that the progress and growth and economic vitality continue," he told ABC News.

US combat veterans and highly skilled American workers will be enticed to come to WA under a resource industry-driven migration program aimed at plugging critical shortages in jobs vital to the State's mining boom.

To attract US engineers, surveyors, logistics experts and other skilled workers, the Federal Government will hold expos, beginning in Houston, Texas, next month. As well as targeting US professionals and tradies struggling to find work, the Skills Australia Needs roadshow will also be geared at Americans leaving the US military after service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

With resource project expansion peaking in Australia over the next three to five years, the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of WA says the Pilbara will need 34,000 extra workers - 27,000 in construction.

Companies including BHP Billiton and Chevron are enthusiastically backing the idea after benefiting from a successful surge in Irish and British temporary migrant workers over the past 18 months.

Skills Minister Chris Evans said temporary skilled workers from the US would be accredited before they came to Australia. "The American skill base, similar occupational health and safety standards, English language, all those things, make for a good fit," he said.

"They are well trained, speak English and they understand our work culture."
Australian Council of Trade Unions president Ged Kearney said that before Australian jobs were "off-shored" there should be thorough market testing of the labour needs via an independent jobs board that advertised all vacancies

Who can apply to attend this Skills Australia Needs event?

The department will host a Skills Australia Needs event in Houston, Texas, the United States of America on the weekend of 19 to 20 May 2012 targeting skilled workers in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors. Targeted occupations in these sectors for the event currently include:
•engineering professionals
•automotive, construction, electrical and mechanical tradesworkers.

Skilled workers invited to attend the event will have the opportunity to hear about skilled visa options, and possible sponsorship and employment opportunities for working in Australia.

Skilled workers in the targeted sectors, who are interested in attending the event, will need to register their interest. Registrations will open in April.

Daniel Davila, a 23-year-old timber floorer from Camarillo, Calif.—a Los Angeles suburb knee-deep in the Golden State's housing dust bowl—made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work installing floors.

On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hour—about twice the going rate for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business.

For Americans like Garrett Mclaughlin, the opportunities outweigh the difficulties. The 29-year-old former associate at New York hedge fund Zweig-DiMenna moved to Sydney to study for a master's degree in business administration, figuring that was the best way to get here without a corporate transfer. He is now entering his final semester at the Australian Graduate School of Management and says he has already had several job offers.

"It's hard to ignore that Australia seems to be going one way and America the opposite," said Mr. Mclaughlin.

I guess they finally hit the precipice where they finally "ran out of the other guy's money" and want out; preferably to spread like a virus to another nation with free lunches to suck it dry as well.
