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?

The consulate has a handful of EFM jobs available, though it's a small mission. - Jun 2018


None. Italy's economy is not so hot, unemployment is high. It is very difficult to find employment on the economy; and the consulate is so small that there are no EFM positions to be had other than the CLO. Which has just been filled as a jobshare. Yayh! That was a great decision by management! - Sep 2016

Some. Speaking Italian is a must. However, you can always do private English tutoring. - Jun 2010


I suppose. People are generally impressed by Americans. - Dec 2008


No. Like it has been mentioned before you must speak the language. - Jan 2008
