If you're looking to move abroad, you'll definitely want to consider how easy it will be to get a job in your new home.

And while you could try asking a few friends and family members who have relocated, it's arguably more efficient to turn to survey data that addresses precisely that concern.

The Expat Explorer Survey, commissioned by HSBC Expat and conducted by YouGov, asked adults currently living away from their home country about the job opportunities in the cities where they live now.

In total, 27,587 expats from 159 countries and territories participated in the online questionnaire. A city had to have 90 expat respondents to be included in the analysis.

The global average for people who said there were fantastic job opportunities in their city was 25%.
