Majority of Nicaraguans would leave their country

In an interesting and symbolic article on Tico Times shows that a majority of Nicaraguans would leave their home country in favour of the USA, Costa Rica, and Spain.
66.3% of respondents stated they would leave, and 88% of those respondents expressed the economy as the reason for emigrating.
In 2006, a similar survey discovered that 55.5% of people would consider leaving their country.
As the conditions deteriorate in Nicaragua and around the world, due to economy and natural influences, it’s no surprise to see Nicas wishing for a better life. The painful part of the story is that emigration from Nicaragua is difficult and finding a better life in another country may be difficult due to a higher cost of living, job-market competition, and other factors.

This is surprising and sad as most Nicaraguans I know are completely in love with their country. This means, it true, that they are getting desperate for a better life. Can’t say I would blame them.

I know of some desperate people in Bluefields. One has been asking me to submit his resume to companies. It’s tough because his life here could be harder than it is in Nicaragua.
Desperate times in Nicaragua… lots of things need to improve.
