Jobs fair seeks to lure Lithuanian workers home
A jobs fair is being held in Dublin today to encourage Lithuanians to return and find employment in their homeland.

Estimates suggest more than 70,000 Lithuanians are currently living and working in Ireland.

Lithuanian state agencies are hosting today's jobs fair in the hope of enticing these people to return home.

Third of Polish people to leave Ireland
Wolfi, It seems you heard right:

A third of Ireland's estimated 200,000 Polish immigrants plan to leave Ireland within a year, a survey by recruitment firm CPL showed on Monday.

Ireland's decade-long construction boom, which attracted many eastern European workers, this year turned into a deepening recession in contrast with the Polish economy which has been growing at around 5 percent.
Of those surveyed by CPL, 33 percent said they planned to leave within the next 12 months, a further 13 percent said they would leave within the next two years and 9 percent said they would "never leave Ireland".

"Money was the main deciding factor for people to leave with 75 percent citing income as their main driver with family coming a close second," CPL said.

Respondents also cited changes in Polish tax laws as a reason to return.

Poland now has a progressive personal income tax with three rates of 19, 30 and 40 percent. From 2009, the system will be simplified to two bands of 18 and 32 percent, with the vast majority of Poles set to pay the lower rate.

CPL carried out the survey by email in the first three week of November and received responses from more than 500 people.
