1: more expats getting 'normal' argentine jobs why is this a factor? if you were making money by working at a distance and getting paid in dollars, euros or pounds, how has that changed?
2: many left, the ones that stayed are much more united REALLY?
3: people that have stayed 2,3 years and have the ability to get a job somewhere else leave depends. some stay because they are married to argentines and their spouse will not leave. i know quite a few of these. also some are not married and partner can not leave, can not get a visa etc. they can leave and break up relationship or stay and suffer in other ways.
4: people who have stayed 5 plus years are settling in ba and not likely to leave anytime soon not true. I know several who have been around for many years and have reached the end of their tether. unless you are penniless you can sell your property and get reestablished in your own country. not everyone is unemployed and even minimum wage or a little better jobs can be better than what you earn in argentina where the col is as high as the us for most things or higher. getting set up in the us (renting, buying, buying furniture and household goods, car etc. will be comparable to or much less than it is in argentina unless you want to live in manhattan, sf or a few very expensive areas.
Any more general observations? the whole situation with extreme inflation, currency restrictions and increasing govt authoritarianism is alarming and a lot of expats have had it. i think those with income from abroad and good incomes will stay if they have personal reasons for staying but a continuation of this will lead to more exits.
I predict more departures by expats and fewer coming in to replace them.
