  Joblio’s technology-based platform disrupts the current international labor migration industry by introducing transparent and new compliance methods, thereby optimizing operations and creating new revenues for employers. Today’s global labor migrant industry is a non-transparent, inefficient, and corrupt monolith run by shady middlemen who sell grossly misrepresented or even non-existent job opportunities to labor migrants. It is an understatement that the current system has multiple inefficiencies and losses. It causes pain to all the existing ecosystem members – employers, labor migrants, and governments alike. Migrant workers across various sectors, industries, and occupations face the risk of exploitation linked to unethical recruitment and employment practices that place workers in vulnerable situations, such as debt slavery or working in forced labor conditions. Joblio disrupts the status quo by introducing transparency, efficiency, and compliance. By introducing its  ...

  Dmitri Dubov:   And now we have here with us one of the leading specialists in the industry of global labor migration — American lawyer Jon Purizhansky. Hello Jon. Jon Purizhansky :  Hello Dmitri! Dmitri : You and your friend and colleague Mr. Dennis Vacco — former  N ew York State Attorney General, are frequent guests on our program War and Peace. I remember how at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I asked you how this situation would affect the global landscape of labor migration. In your response, you predicted that country borders will eventually be more restricted and that in the future, we will need to have vaccination certificates to prove that you’re not carrying infectious diseases. Nowadays, we are seeing how governments, one after another, are issuing documents called “the green passports,” which will allow you to travel internationally. What are the other changes the industry of global labor migration has experienced over the last year? Jon : Acco...

Dennis Vacco and Jon Purizhansky - regular guests of the program "War and Peace" - were supposed to come to Israel in March 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made adjustments. We recorded this interview "in the distance." How is America struggling with this disease, what is happening in New York State and what will the world be like after coronavirus?

The Coronavirus has been rapidly spreading around the globe.  The disease has had a significant human impact with loss of life, travel limitations, mass quarantines, and financial loss.  Accordingly, it has also drastically impacted global labor markets, says global relocation expect NY based attorney Jon Purizhansky . The coronavirus has been in confirmed in at least 47 countries around the world. While disease was first encountered in China – its impact is now in every continent. In Europe, Italy has the most recorded cases at 528, of which results in 14 deaths. Global efforts being led by the numerous countries and the World Health Organization are trying to contain the disease to limit exposure and prevent more loss of life. Japan has seen a steady rise in cases as well, largely as a result of its proximity to China. Japan recently took the extreme step to close all schools in effort to stop the disease from spreading. President Trump has publicly sp...

The Brookings Institute recently released a study on shifting global trade policies.  The study is focused upon a three-year term and takes into consideration numerous macro-economic factors such as US and China trade war.  Such a comprehensive study brings insight into global trade – but also touches upon the broad patterns impacting global labor and migration, says global relocation expert and NY based attorney  Jon Purizhansky . One of the study’s most interesting findings is that there is a shift away from open trade. The Study focused on G-20 countries during what was deemed a populist era (2017 – 2019).  In a hyper competitive environment many countries observed and imposed regulations that increased tariffs.  This effort was largely commented upon on the United States and China.  However, it also impacted nearly the entire world, and especially the G-20.  Accordingly, certain sentiments believe that the US/China tariff dis...

The 12 th annual Global Forum on Migration and Development was kicked off on January 21, 2020 in Quito, Ecuador.  The Forum will be hosted by Ecuadorean government officials and attended by minister level officials, shaping migration policy, from throughout the world.  This is a great event that routinely brings together thought leaders, key opinion stakeholders, and policy shapers to foster discussion and knowledge capital in the arena of labor and global migration policy, says global relocation expert and NY-based attorney Jon Purizhansky . This year’s Forum includes three central themes: 1) Coordinated responses to mixed movements: Partnerships and collective action to protect rights; Migration narratives and communication: What role, responsibility and resources do governments have?; and Addressing human mobility as part of urban and rural development strategies.  Having a diverse group of attendees from mixed backgrounds and cultures will yield a...

A new report by the International Labor Organization finds that nearly 5 0 0 million people lack access to paid work.  The report further found that this group may also be working fewer paid hours than they would like. Such large numbers of underemployed persons are a draw on the global economy, says global relocation expect NY based attorney Jon Purizhansky . The report, titled the World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2 0 2 0   , takes a macro and micro economic view to the global labor markets.  The report projects that unemployment may rise by around two and a half million in 2020.  Although global unemployment has been steady for nearly the past decade, that may change this year in-part to lack of employment opportunities for new entrants to the market.  This is not an unusual affect, says  Jon Purizhansky , when the economy grows it often takes time for the labor market to catch up – but it is a metric that is directly ties...
