Article Abstract:
The opportunities offered by the US helped in attracting talented and educated immigrants, which in turn resulted in prosperity, but currently cities like Sydney, Vancouver, Brussels and Dublin are attracting such talented immigrants. The reasons for this creative-class brain drain could be attributed to the aggressive recruitment job done by these countries, lack of opportunity in scientific field and computer engineering due to the technology bust in the US, and also the changed political and policy scenario in Washington.
