If you are considering a move to the USA, you are probably wondering how to get a job in America. You will be glad to hear that, despite the recession, things are looking hopeful for the US job market, and the economy as a whole. The country’s GDP is expected to grow up to 1.7% by 2020. So, although there is an ongoing political shift with Donald Trump as president, which, some would argue, is not the best thing to have happened to America, the economy there has certainly changed for the better after the great recession. The decade-long expansion of the American economy is reported to have created $20 million, and the unemployment rate has seen a recent decrease from 4% in January of this year to 3.8% in March. This means that things are looking up for job seekers in the US, including expats. To help make your job search that little bit easier, Send My Bag is here to offer some guidance on how to get a job in America.

Finding a job in the UK may be too daunting for some, especially in the middle of the Brexit crisis. The Office of National Statistics 2019 Migration Quarterly Report has shown that immigration to the UK for work has fallen to its lowest level since 2014. Though not confirmed to be a result of Brexit, EU net migration has fallen to a level last seen in 2009. Still, there seems to be no sign of a final Brexit decision on the horizon, so, at the minute it’s hard to predict how exactly the UK job market will be affected. However, at present, it seems to be business as usual in the recruitment sector, and migration to the UK continues to add to the population. Brexit or No-Brexit, Send My Bag are here to guide you when it comes to finding a job in the UK, as there seems to be no apparent fall in job prospects. If anything, the UK needs more people and their skills to get through the economic turmoil of Brexit.
