The Hague - 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 are a good amount of EFM jobs at the Embassy and lots of people telecommute as well. Surprisingly, I haven't heard of many people with local jobs but I'm not sure if there are barriers or if that's just a matter of preference. Salaries are good, but still less than the U.S. - May 2022
There are some EFM positions at post (embassy and consulate). There may be opportunities at the American school or on the local market. - Feb 2021
There is a bilateral work agreement so EFMs can work on the local market . We currently have about 18 EFM positions at post (including Amsterdam) and usually have vacancies available. - Jan 2019
