this statistic amazing.\u00a0 For every million dollars that comes into Central America as <span class=\"hlink\">Foreign Direct Investment<\/span>,  only 4.7 jobs are created on average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">In <span class=\"hlink\">Nicaragua<\/span>,  for example,  an average of six new jobs are created per million  dollars in incoming FDI, this is the highest number among the countries  in <span class=\"hlink\">Central America<\/span>.  &#8220;The data reflects the recent report on FDI in Latin America and the  Caribbean 2013, by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the  Caribbean (ECLAC),&#8221; noted an article in Laprensa.com.ni.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, in the region there are significant differences  between countries, but it concludes that the overall employment figures  are &#8220;modest&#8221;. &#8220;FDI in Latin America has modest effects on job creation,  as it generates on average 2.5 jobs per million dollars,&#8221; said ECLAC.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hlink\">Hubo Beteta<\/span>,  director of ECLAC subregional headquarters in Mexico, says  understanding how FDI contributes to the transformation of production in  Latin America and thereby its competitiveness, has led to the discovery  that <span class=\"hlink\">investors<\/span> come because they seek access to strategic natural resources, accessing  export platforms early in order to reach large markets such as the U.S.  A third concern is access to new and larger markets such as Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to the official &#8220;instead of becoming more  sophisticated in their industrial infrastructure, companies will be  regressing, being exporters of natural resources with little added  value, low job creation and altering the capacity of other sectors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"link_source\">Source: laprensa.com.ni<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found this statistic amazing.\u00a0 For every million
