The Hungarian colony in London is especially large, so one of the research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences conducted a survey among them about their reasons for leaving, their satisfaction with their decision to settle in London, and finally whether they are considering returning to the country of their birth. Seventy-three percent of them said that “they have no intention of ever returning to Hungary.” Twenty-one percent answered that “perhaps within a few years” they might go back, and only 6% said that they will definitely return within a year.
Seventy three percent of the Hungarians living in London, said they have no intention of ever returning to Hungary.
So much for full employment and returning people.
This has gotten really comical. Every time that you post an article it simply reinforces my factual-based claim that Hungarians emigrate to seek a better life with a higher standard of living, not because they are poor. From the article that you cited:

about the ever-growing number of Hungarians who are packing up and leaving the country to find a better life elsewhere.
Quote:Quote:
Hungary cannot compete with other western countries in terms of living standards and that since most of the people left Hungary for financial reasons, it is unlikely that they will abandon their well-paid jobs and return to Hungary for a great deal less money.
In fact, the article that you cited expressly states that it is the poorer element of Hungarian society that remains in Hungary, while it is the more educated and well-off element that moves abroad for a better life:

One of the frightening aspects of Hungarian emigration statistics is the educational background of the emigrants. While only 19% of the population at home has a college or university degree, 32% of those who packed up and left were college or university educated. The reverse is true of those with only an eight-grade education. They make up 24% of the Hungarian population but only 6% of the emigrants.
Thanks for posting yet another article that proves my point: Hungarians leave Hungary for a higher standard of living, not because they are poor.
