Comparative analyses show that migrant income levels and growth rates vary significantly by country, and these indicators are particularly noticeable in the initial stages of a career.

The editorial reports that in the first 5 years, migrant income growth in Germany is +48%, and in the USA, it is +43%. These countries offer the fastest salary growth dynamics for migrants starting their careers.

At the same time, Norway stands out as the country with the highest annual earning potential for migrants, where migrant annual salaries approach the $68,000 level.

On the other hand, New Zealand and the Netherlands show a 6% decrease in migrant incomes over time. However, in the overall picture, the salary gap between migrants and the local population in many countries shows a narrowing trend, decreasing from 34% to 21%.
