The Expat Explorer Survey, commissioned by HSBC Expat and conducted by YouGov, asked nearly 28,000 expats in 159 countries about the job opportunities in the cities where they currently live. A city had to have 90 expat respondents to be included in the analysis.
The results concluded that on average, 25 percent of expats believe there are fantastic job opportunities in the city that they live in.
