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?
Telecommuting, some local jobs, too. Salaries are generally lower than in the US for comparable work. - May 2024
No. Working here requires a permit which often takes months to get approved. Lots of fields are closed, and if you are doing a job that a Bahamian could do (in theory) then it gets denied. - Jun 2015
Yes but be prepared to jump through the usual work permit hoops. - May 2015
Work permits would make this challenging, but it is possible. There are quite a few EFM jobs in the Embassy. - Jan 2011
There are job opportunities but they require a work permit and are mostly low paid. - Mar 2010

With the economy suffering here, jobs are hard to come by. - Dec 2008
