Often referred to as a ‘land of opportunity’, America has an impressive unemployment rate of 7.5% (April 2013), compared to 7.7% in the UK, 11% in France and 26.7% in Spain. For those with skills that are in demand, along with a degree and a reasonable amount of experience, obtaining a ‘green card’ is relatively straightforward.
Here are some of the most in-demand occupations with average base salaries over $100,000 in the USA with data from Glassdoor.com:

Other ways to get a green card for residency in America include through a family member of a US citizen (as an immediate relative) or through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (referred to by many as the ‘Green Card Lottery’). The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program makes 50,000 diversity visas available annually, drawn from random selection among entries of individuals who are from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
