Over 120,000 Greek professionals have fled the country since 2010, according to a study from University of Thessaloniki. The numbers include doctors, engineers, IT professionals and scientists: in other words, the very people that the Greek economy needs if it's going to dust itself off and start growing again.

At 26 percent, Greece has the highest unemployment rate in the European Union and is experiencing its sixth straight year of negative growth.
