What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?
Hard for spouses to find jobs. French speaking professionals might be more successful. - Aug 2026
Because the Embassy is hard to staff with USDHs, there are plenty of full and part time EFM positions at the Embassy. Clearance process can be lengthy, though. - Sep 2022
Lots of EFM jobs at the US Embassy. You should have no problem finding one. I don't know about other Embassies. Outside of embassies, the formal job market is not great. There are however a lot of volunteer opportunities if your family members feel like it. - Jun 2021
There are a few jobs available in the embassy. - Nov 2019
Not many, mostly with NGOs, limited pay. - May 2016
Only in development or perhaps education. - Dec 2014
I don't think so. Perhaps with NGOs. - May 2009
I don't know, but I suspect somebody with good French and a U.S. degree could find work here in either the mining sector or in NGO/development organizations. - Mar 2008
