Bermuda Jobs
US Department Of State Post Report
The influx of expatriate employees has had a physical impact on this small island, raising the issue of sustainable development. One Bermuda government report predicts that there will be a further 6,000 jobs created here by 2010. With virtually full employment in Bermuda and declining birth rates, it is probable that non-Bermudians will be needed in greater numbers to supplement the local workforce, which in turn would most likely result in a population increase greater than the number of new jobs. The labor minister has pointed out that for every two work permit holders, there are one and one-half dependents. Among the problems already plaguing Bermuda - and bound to worsen - as a result of an increasing population are traffic congestion, escalating real estate costs, housing shortages, private school waiting lists, and increasingly frequent tension between Bermudians and the outsiders who have come to live and work on the island. ...

Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
Now on the northern border, working with Canada, we have two options. The first would be the NEXUS card. The NEXUS card is also similar to the SENTRI card in that it facilitates travelers, folks who have jobs on the other side of the border, for example, people who are routinely visiting family. And the NEXUS card is also linked to certain documentation requirements. For example, you can provide a passport to get a NEXUS card; you can also provide a birth certificate and other types of documents that would give you that proof of citizenship. ... [Read More]
Primer on Personal Security in Papua New Guinea
The lack of jobs and difficulty of policing urban areas encouraged the development of "rascal gangs" in the 1980''s in Port Moresby and other urban centers. These gangs continue to pose a serious threat to Port Moresby residents, principally those who do not take adequate precautions. Random or opportunistic crime is also common, however. The situation is not unreservedly bleak. Public disorder in Port Moresby, for example, rarely occurs. It is ordinarily safe to travel on main routes in Port Moresby during the day. ... [Read More]
Nigeria
In the oil-producing region of the Niger River Delta, resident U.S. citizens and other foreigners have frequently been threatened and held hostage during labor disputes. While the U.S. Government will do everything possible to assist in the safe release of all hostages, it is vital that U.S. citizens resident in this area review their employer's security information and contingency plans. Tourists risk being mistaken for residents and should exercise caution. Throughout 2002-03 there were a number of occupations of U.S. oil company facilities and ships in the Niger Delta region; in at least three of the incidents, groups of women were involved in peaceful takeovers to help gain jobs and community investment from the oil companies. In April 2004, two Americans were killed while on an oil vess ... [Read More]
Teaching English in Korea
Fax: 81-3-3224-5274 MEDICAL INSURANCE: Foreign instructors are entitled to Korean medical insurance through their employer. This should be clarified at the time of acceptance of employment. Employers often buy the minimum policy required, which provides about 400,000 won (about $500) worth of coverage. Those desiring more coverage should negotiate with their employers or buy their own. Medical care in Korea is generally good, but, while not as expensive as in the United State ... [Read More]
U.S.-EU Aviation Relations -- Charting the Course for Success
The Open Skies success story—and it is a remarkable success—was possible because of a unity of vision and purpose among successive Administrations, both sides of the aisle in Congress, our airports and communities, our airlines, and our labor unions. All have come together behind the Open Skies banner to advance the view that governments should get out of the business of counterproductive economic regulation and endorse a market-based approach to global aviation¯one that serves consumers, helps communities, and creates jobs. ...

Barbados (08/04)
The three political parties--the Barbados Labor Party (BLP), the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), and the semi-defunct National Democratic Party (NDP)--are all moderate and have no major ideological differences; electoral contests and political disputes often have personal overtones. The major political problems facing Barbados today are in promoting economic growth: creating jobs, encouraging agricultural diversification, attracting foreign investment, and promoting tourism. ...
