How did guest workers impact the population of Qatar?

“The migrant (guest) workforce in Qatar is estimated at 2 million, making up nearly 95% of the labor force in a country of just 3 million people. Qatar’s population also increased by nearly 40% after its World Cup hosting was announced, as demand in the construction industry boomed and many migrants, mostly of South Asian descent, flocked to the country to fill open positions.

What caused Californians to evacuate and flee from their homes?

“Leaving is stressful no matter when you do it or how much notice you have. Every Californian knows, technically, that we should be ready to escape at a moment’s notice.
