...just ridden out a hurricane in a trailer park. Instruments, hair and clothing were strewn everywhere. The set list, culled from their debut, Funeral, was full of songs about death played on accordion and mandolin.

In fact, the infusion of educated labor drove growth in host countries' most dynamic sectors. Chudzicka arrived with a diploma in economics and now stars in her own Polish-language TV show (see profile). The majority of expatriate Poles have at least a secondary education, and many have a university degree. Most are working at jobs - in hotels...
