From NY Times:

Snapshot: Global Migration - New York Times

Very informative, but I have two problems with this:

1. They don’t define “migrants”. Are people going to other countries on temporary work visas also counted in that? Seems like it. Look at the Middle East, I think they are counting work visa holders in this also.

2. I wish there were arrows pointing where these migrants were going.

Pakistan shows -248,000. That’s the number of people who have left between 2000-2005

Why does Oman show a negative number? I thought Oman was rich?

+222,000 Afghans -248,000 Pak = ??

Easy math.
