Define skill transferability. How does this apply to migrants entering into the United States?

Skill transferability is the ease with which people can shift their work talents from one job, region, or country to another job, region, or country. Also, the skills that migrants possess are not always perfectly transferable between employers in different countries because of occupational licensing requirements, specific training, or language differences. This lack of skill transferability may mean that migrants earn less than similarly employed native-born workers in the United States. This result is common for immigrants who lack English-language skills.
