Top 10 Countries with the Highest Employment Opportunities in the World

One of the most important decisions a person makes is to find a good job and a professional environment. Nowadays, technology and modern lifestyles give you more options to choose from. Democratic regimes and more liberal legislations bring many benefits to those who want to have the career and professional development they want in the country where they want to live and have a happy life.

1. Switzerland

Competition for jobs in Switzerland is fierce and opportunities are more limited for those from outside the EU or EFTA (European Free Trade Association), as there are often quotas for jobs in Switzerland for foreigners, even for highly skilled, highly qualified professionals. However, finding a job in Switzerland is quite possible, including a small number of jobs in Switzerland for English speakers, especially in industries where there is a shortage of skilled workers. However, in multicultural Switzerland, language is often the key to finding a job in Switzerland.

The Swiss economy is stable and Switzerland's unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the world, at 4.3% in March 2020. However, foreigners account for nearly half of those officially unemployed. Cross-border employment also continues to play an important role in Switzerland, with some 332,177 cross-border workers active in Switzerland in the three months to the end of June 2020.

Highly skilled and professional industries play a strong role in the Swiss economy, with some of the largest sectors including chemicals, banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, watchmaking and food retail. Many large multinational companies have established headquarters in Switzerland, largely due to Switzerland’s favourable tax conditions. Nestle is the largest company in Switzerland in terms of number of employees, with 323,000 workers.

2. USA

Hard work, accurate results, and facts will get you far in the US job market. How much you’ll earn working in the US depends largely on your industry, job title, US state, and skill level. According to the latest US Census wage survey, the real median household income was $70,784 in 2021. Openings increased in other services (from auto mechanics to hairdressers to laundry workers) and durable goods manufacturing, while hiring remained steady compared to the previous month.

Employers are struggling to hire people with historically high employment rates and to fill those moving on to new jobs. As of January, there were about six job seekers for every 10 job openings—or nearly two open positions for every available worker. The US labor market added 678,000 jobs in February, with the biggest gains in hard-hit sectors including leisure and hospitality, education and health services, and professional and business services. The overall US unemployment rate fell to 3.8% in February but remains high for some groups.

3. France

With a population of nearly 66 million, making it the third largest country in Europe, you will never be at a loss for things to see and do in France. From the world-famous landmarks of Paris, including the stunning Gothic architecture of Sainte-Chapelle and Cathédrale Notre-Dame, to the sandy beaches and azure waters of the French Riviera, and the spectacular ski slopes of the Alps and Pyrenees. However, it is essential that you learn the language before you move, especially as short-term contracts are more available than permanent positions. Once there, you will enjoy a high standard of living thanks to a strong healthcare system and generous holiday allowance.

The main contributors to the French economy include tourism, agriculture, energy, manufacturing, transport and technology. The country is famous for its luxury goods, fashion and cosmetics industries. In particular, the IT, healthcare, engineering and freight sectors are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers. The shortage of truck drivers is estimated to be between forty and fifty thousand. With thousands of positions available, if you have the skills employers are looking for and the necessary qualifications, finding a job in France should not be too difficult.

4. Canada

According to research, nearly 50% of people who move to Canada move there for work. It’s safe to say that Canada is known around the world for its booming economy and welcoming nature to foreign workers. The continued expansion of Canadian industry combined with an aging, often very old population means that Canadian employers have to turn to foreign workers to fill the workforce-to-retirement ratio. As a result, Canada offers foreign workers – like yourself – unparalleled opportunities that can’t be found anywhere else.

According to the World Population Review, Canada is currently the most educated country in the world. As a result, they boast an extremely well-educated population and many of Canada’s key industries, such as technology, require extensive education. According to Statistics Canada, 93% of new graduates in Canada find employment in their chosen field within two years of completing their studies. The Canadian government has an excellent support system for recent Canadian graduates called the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program. If you are planning to study in Canada, this program can provide you with a great opportunity to find meaningful and productive employment after you complete your studies.

With many global corporations choosing Hong Kong as their Asian base, there are a wide range of job opportunities in the Hong Kong job market. International companies are often the best way to find work in Hong Kong, as many local businesses prefer their employees to have at least a basic knowledge of Cantonese. Freelancing can also be an option, as Hong Kong allows foreigners to set up their own businesses here. Just like in China, networking is important in Hong Kong and it can lead you to great job opportunities. Start by searching for networking events near you on social media; you can attend conferences related to your field or join meetup groups

Whatever you choose, you will need to earn a lot of money to be able to live well in Hong Kong. And while the average salary for some professions here is high, you will need to earn at least double the standard average to be able to live comfortably in Hong Kong. The average working day in Hong Kong is long and demanding. Overtime is not uncommon and Saturdays are considered working days. The availability of social security depends on how long you have been in the territory.

China’s economy is expanding rapidly and the country is now the second largest economy in the world (after the United States). Despite having a population of nearly 1.5 billion, its people enjoy a relatively low cost of living compared to the UK. The opportunity to experience a completely different culture is a huge draw for expats considering working in China. To make life a little easier, you might consider taking classes in Mandarin, not only does a second language look great on your CV but it can also increase your chances of success when looking for a job.

In your spare time, you’ll be able to explore five thousand years of history and culture. The Great Wall, Forbidden City and Summer Palace are all in Beijing, the Terracotta Army in Xi’an are also well worth a visit, and you won’t want to miss Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong and the Bund in Shanghai. When looking for English speaking jobs in China, these will be mainly in cities like Beijing and Shanghai – the country’s business and industrial centres.

9. Germany

Germany is a magnet for workers, whether they are looking to make their fortune in Frankfurt's finance sector, research automotive innovations in Munich for BMW, or make it big in Berlin's marketing sector. However, if you are considering the move, there are a few things to know before you apply for a job. It's nothing to worry about, but like many aspects of life, working in Germany has its own nuances. And there are bureaucratic issues to deal with before you start working, such as securing visa sponsorship or getting all the necessary paperwork to pay taxes.

According to Germany's Federal Employment Agency, the country needs more than 400,000 skilled migrants to come here every year to meet its labor needs. There are a number of reasons for this demand, including an aging population, but the most important driver of job opportunities is Germany's strong economy. Germany is often considered to be one of the most productive economies in the world, meaning it has a very high level of output per worker. Statistics vary, but to illustrate the point, most experts believe that British workers achieve in five days what Germans achieve in four. And that is true across most German industries.

10. United Kingdom

While the UK boasts the fifth largest economy and is home to some of the most important business hubs, it still has a shortage of skilled workers. The country’s unemployment rate is relatively low at 3.7% (September 2022), and the graduate job market is as strong and growing as it has been in some time. Competition for graduate jobs is fierce, but candidates with the right qualifications, skills and experience stand a good chance of securing employment. Language skills are increasingly important, making many foreign nationals desirable candidates.

The UK has a large international community, so you’ll be in good company as an expat. With the UK’s diverse employment sectors, good working conditions and plenty of job opportunities, it’s no surprise that it’s a popular destination for international graduates looking to kickstart their careers. The UK economy is dominated by the services sector, with banking, insurance and trading all key drivers of the country’s growth. Other important industries include metals, chemicals, aerospace, shipbuilding, motor vehicles, food processing, textiles, design, the arts and electronics and communications.
