About 12 percent of population in Slovakia are unemployed. In some places (for example : Orava, Čadca) it´s 24 percent because there are small companies and these companies offer job for few people. In Orava are the largest companies : Johnson Controls, MTS, Panasonic or Hydac but these companies aren´t big as some companies in some big cities, which means that only some people have job there. People must look for some job abroad. The most popular places for work among slovak people are : the Czech republik, Austria, England and nowadays Norway,too. People have been working in this country for a two weeks and than they go home. A second reason,why people work abroad is, that the work abroad is better paid. They do the same work as in our country, but they have a higher salary.

Work abroad has lots of advantages. For example, when you work as au-pair you can know some habits in the family where you work. You can make new friends and when you want to learn some foreign language, the work abroad and live abroad is the best way how to do it.
Because you have to use language in this country. Other countries can be more advanced than our country so you can get more work experiences. These countries are often very rich and when you work in this country for 10 years, you can have right to a pension. When your children are at high school you get some money too.
On the other hand when you don´t have a job an you don´t know any foreign language, the work abroad is very hard for you. When someone from your family goes abroad to work, he must leave the family for 2 weeks and when he have some little children, it´s not very good for them. When you want to work abroad and you don´t have anybody in this foreign country, the best way is that you go with some agency which is big risk because many people are cheated. Agency wants money from you. You give your money for agency and when you come to country you find out that there isn´t some job for you.
When you work at home, you have your own flat or house when you live but when you go abroad you must pay for everything : for accomodation, for food and for travel. This work isn´t for everybody. When you come to foreign country you can feel lonely and homesick because your family is far away. When you have some trouble in the work mostly you can´t chnge your job quickly because you must pay for accomodation and food, so many times you must stay in the job where you are. In some countries you need a special permission. If you want to work in America you need a visa and work permission. You can get a green car when you have lucky. You can work and live in this country witout any permissions.

I want to have good job in the future. Because when family doesn´t have money for living the both parents have to work. Some mothers wants to look after the children and stay home but they can´t. When these people have family their grandparents look after the children. So I want to build my career in place where i will be working and than I would like to have a family. Some womens have children but they don´t stay at home when is the child small. They are with baby only few months and then they go back to the work because they don´t lose their jobs. I think that this is not very good option so i would like to stay at home with my child for two years, at least, so i want to have a good position at the work.

Retaired poeple on Slovakia aren´t satisfied with money. They spend lots of money for food, accomondation and mostly for medicines.
Pensionist in Slovakia are very modest. Some grandparents have small retire but they sponsore their children and their family. The medicines in our country are very expensive, so these people try to spend less money for food.
Pensionist in some foreign countries are satisfied with their retirement.
For example pensionist from Austria go to the dinner almost every evening ( so they don´t have to cook the dinner every day ), they can go to different trips and they gan enjoy their retirement. These pensionist are richer than pensionist in Slovakia.
Some retaired people live in old people´s houses. Sometimes, they don´t have any money, because all their pension go to their accomodation. It´s very said life.
