Influx of Iranian migrant workers worries Kurdish labor union
2018-11-15
Possibly an indication of the improved economy in Iraqi Kurdistan, and the impact of resumed American sanctions on Iran.
[Rudaw] US sanctions on Iran could lead to a spike in the number of Iranian migrants colonists coming to the Kurdistan Region to work, according to the Kurdistan Laborers Syndicate.

Workers coming to the Kurdistan Region are classified as two groups ‐ one arriving after getting a license from the Ministry of Labor to work for a company or as a house servant, the other arriving independently to search for work.

According to figures released by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, some 51,000 foreign laborers have been brought to the Kurdistan Region over the past 11 years through 163 licensed companies ‐ 26,000 laborers for projects and 25,000 for house care.
