9: Russia

Even though unemployment rate is down to its previous levels of 5.4 percent, experts predict unemployment rate to skyrocket an additional five percent in the next few years. Russia is facing a slight brain drain of highly professional workers due to the lack of outlets the country provides for its professionals.

Sure, brain drain is great for countries who receive skilled immigrants, but for countries like Russia it is a true loss in innovation, investment and tax revenues. With a second recession on the rise and Russia’s debt from the Olympics, Russia cannot afford to cut spending and limit the number of jobs for its people.
