Economic reasons are considered the main factor for professionals to move with limited influence by the spouses, the tied migrants. The analysis of qualitative interviews with 38 German families who moved temporary to the United States show that the interests of the spouse, cultural curiosity about a global world, and the work itself are equally important to economic gains. Women's progress in education and paid work, have changed the role of the tied migrant and its influence on the settlement or return decision. 410 0$aNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aForeign workers, German$zUnited States 606 $aBrain drain$zGermany 606 $aProfessional employees$zUnited States 606 $aProfessional employees$zGermany 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aGermany$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 615 0$aForeign workers, German 615 0$aBrain drain 615 0$aProfessional employees 615 0$aProfessional employees 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a331.6/243073 700 $aEich-Krohm$b Astrid$f1962-$01811440 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967313303321 996 $aGerman professionals in the United States$94363316 997 $aUNINA
