For the twenty-first century, the emigrants' earnings compared with those of the localpopulation decreased due to the current economic climate and changes in the labour market of thecountry of destination. According to official statistics provided by Eurostat, in developed countries,compared to the previous years, as a result of the increase in the share of low skilled immigrants,the migrants' wages are very low or nonexistent in some cases - if they do not work. Although someof the emigrants have a high level of training or higher education acquired in their countryof origin, they sometimes accept certain jobs regarded perhaps even as lowering in their owncountry. In this article we aimed the evolution of the Romanians migration from the pastyears, based on a quantitative research conducted in the city of Focsani (Vrancea County).
