Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers
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?
There's no expat community. EFMs either telework, don't work, or work at the consulate. I don't know their salaries. Historically speaking EFM jobs at US missions abroad don't pay well. - Sep 2024
At this point, there are more EFM jobs than EFMs who want to work. If you want to work, you'll be able to work. Most are full-time positions. Several EFMs work remotely easily since we are in the same time zone as the western US. - Jun 2023
EFMs are not going to work on the local community in most instances. There are plenty of jobs in the consulate if you are flexible. - Sep 2022
There are many part and full-time EFM jobs available at post. None locally available. - Aug 2022
No. - Aug 2015
Not really. - Apr 2013
Not many unless you can land something with one of the "maquiladores". If you having experience teaching at the university level you might be able to secure a job as a professor at one of the local universities. - Dec 2009
So-so. Wages are significantly lower than in the U.S. - Feb 2008
