Top moving destinations for work reasons

If you are considering to move out of Italy and start a new job abroad, perhaps it is worth it considering to move to Germany, as it has become a popular expatriate destination according to the recent InterNations survey. Another top moving destination for professional expats from Italy is the United Kingdom according to survey data. The data of 2.1 million members of InterNations reveals the USA as the most popular country of residence for people living and working abroad. The country hosts 8% of the expat population. The US is followed by Germany (7% of the global expats population) the UK (6%), and the UAE (6%). Most expats in the United States are on assignment by their employer, according to the InterNations Expat Insider 2015 survey. Contrary to that an above average number of expats in Germany, UK and the UAE have found their new job on their own. Another interesting result of the survey is that 80% of the people living in one of these top 4 countries consider themselves generally satisfied with their expatriate life.
 
Regarding job satisfaction there are further interesting findings: On average 64% of the global expat population are satisfied with their work abroad. Expats in the USA (68%) and in Germany (69%) show a higher satisfaction rate regarding their job. On the other hand the UK (63%) and the UAE (60%), have a below average satisfaction rate when it comes to their career abroad. These variations could be related to different industries where the expats are working (for example construction sector in the UAE).
 
Furthermore, the members data showed which are the most popular expat nationalities. These figures are divided up by many nations: USA, UK, India, France and Germany have the highest population of expatriates. Americans are leading these statistics with about 149,000 persons or 10% of all expats on InterNations, Americans make up the largest share of those who leave their home country. The US are followed by expats from the UK and from India with 8%t and 6% respectively. German and French expats are contributing each with 5% to the global expat community living and working abroad.
