	Migrant worker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A migrant worker is a person who works in more than one physical location, often working at seasonal jobs and then moving on to new seasonal jobs.
		In the past, starting at the end of the American Civil War, hobos were the migrant workers who performed much of this work, using freight railroads as their means of transportation to new jobs.
		Examples of professions which could be called migrant workers, some of them quite lucrative, include: Electricians in the construction industry (slang term: "narrowbacks"); other construction workers who travel from one construction job to another, often in different cities; wildland firefighters in the western United States; temporary/roving consulting work; and possibly even interstate truck drivers.

	Migrant Worker Remittances,Micro-finance and the Informal Economy: Prospects and Issues - Working Paper 21 - Employment ...
		Migrant worker remittances have a central role in the work of the ILO on micro-finance: it has an international dimension, it is of growing relevance in view of the increasing number of migrant workers (legal and illegal) and it contributes substantially to the national income of many poor countries.
		First, some migrant workers retain part of their savings in personal accounts with overseas banks for purposes such as meeting children's educational expenses overseas and to be used in the event of subsequent permanent e-migration.
		However, given the nature of migrant workers' income path, and the limited set of investment choices open to them, there may be some scope for more frugality and better allocation of the investible surplus, that justifies government policies to influence their saving/investment levels.
