MOSCOW - A Russian region in Siberia has barred migrant workers from an array of jobs in what appears to be an effort to address unemployment during an economic downturn. The resolution issued on August 15 by the Novosibirsk governor bars migrants from working in schools or in the fishing, mining and timber industries. They also will no longer be able to work legally for companies that make baby food or as bus or taxi drivers, accountants, lawyers or secretaries.
