Skilled workers

Skilled workers are workers who are trained in a skill or educated in a profession. Skilled workers, especially those who are highly talented, are in short supply and sometimes can negotiate better than average compensation and working conditions.

Global market
If permitted by local law and trade agreements employers can hire skilled workers on the global labor market obtaining the most talented workers available for less than they would have to compensate less talented domestic workers. Importing workers in this way will sometimes bypass domestic graduates and experienced workers in the field.
