Expats living in the U.S. share their best and worst experiences.

Many expats living in the U.S. find having numerous career opportunities to be the best part of their experience, but for many, the high cost of living makes it challenging.

According to InterNations' latest Expat Insider report, the U.S. ranks 35th among 53 global countries as the best country for expats.

The report, based on survey responses from over 12,500 expats worldwide, examines their satisfaction levels across five key indices, including quality of life, ease of settling in, working abroad, personal finance, and the ability to find housing and communicate in the local language.

Among all countries, the U.S. has the highest rate of people working abroad.

According to survey respondents, the U.S. has a strong local job market and career prospects for expats. Expats appreciate the flexibility offered by the local business culture, with 65% of people reporting job satisfaction, compared to 60% globally.

According to expats working full time in the U.S., their workweek averages 43.7 hours, which is higher than the global average of 42.5 hours. They also complain about the limited vacation time, which they believe negatively affects their experience.

In the US, approximately half of expats, or 52%, are dissatisfied with the overall cost of living compared to 39% of expats globally.

In the U.S., the biggest financial challenges for expats are housing, healthcare, and transportation costs, particularly in areas without a strong public transit system where people have to rely on cars. Only 31% of expats in the U.S. are satisfied with their living expenses, compared to 40% globally.

While newcomers find Americans generally friendly, they struggle with forming friendships and establishing a social life.

The U.S. is highly rated by expats for its advanced digital infrastructure, ease of language navigation, diverse leisure activities, and warm culture.

According to InterNations survey data, the typical expat in the U.S. is approximately 48 years old. The reasons for their move include attending school or university (16%), being sent by their employer (12%), or following their partner's job (10%). In terms of employment, expats in the U.S. are most likely to work in finance, health care, or information technology.

According to InterNations, the top countries for expats this year are Panama, Mexico, and Indonesia.
