Why Go Global?
There are countless benefits to employing international workers in Northeast Ohio.Here are just a few:
Migration = Economic Development
Rust Belt Analytica completed a report that found that Migration is crucial to the evolution of cities. Migration does not only allow for the accumulation of human capital, but for global connectivity as well. Connectivity is part and parcel with the act of Migration, allowing for the deepening of a city’s “thought bank”. This depth of ideation is crucial to the process of innovation which, in turn, is crucial economic evolution. Put another way, Migration is economic development. It is today. It was yesterday. And it will be tomorrow.
