Economic Progress

Employees of multinational headhunter Korn/Ferry work at the headquarters office of the company in Caracas, Venezuela August 3, 2015. Headhunters across Latin America are tapping Venezuela for low-cost professionals as a deepening economic crisis has left many skilled workers earning less money than taxi drivers and waiters. Highly-trained Venezuelans are seeking to escape a decaying socialist economy in which they often have to work second jobs and spend hours in line to buy basic goods such as milk or diapers.
