There's been some. The EU is legally a single labor market, though European workers still aren't all that mobile. But there's been tremendous immigration to North America (and Australia too, right?) The working classes of New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto are very multinational. And, as Sassen argues, the suppliers of immigrants are often the very countries that are targets of foreign investment.
