A few years ago, the United States was perhaps positioned as one of the countries seeking greater employment opportunities; currently, according to a Revelio analysis, Approximately 16% of American professionals have quit their jobs in 2025 to seek jobs overseas with lesser burden of office responsibilities.

The report released by the employment intelligence company Revelio highlights that in recent years the number of Americans who have left their jobs to be employed in e The foreign has doubled. “We are in a labor market increasingly globalized, where everyone can work from anywhere,” Ege Aksu, economist at Revelio, told CBS.

According to data from the analysis, this trend has been observed in both native American workers and migrants, where the largest wave of ren uncias has occurred in the technological area, moving mostly to European or Asian countries in the face of greater investment in artificial intelligence, among others.

“Talent is not infinite; American workers need something more than high salaries. That's why they're betting on high-quality jobs, ambitious emerging companies,and more serious competition for talent outside the United States,” commented Aksu.

In the analysis, Revelio also points to that, after the pandemic, many workers inclined toward remote jobs; that has been driving them to move abroad, where they have longer schedules exible unlike the United States. “If another employer abroad offers a hybrid work model, better schedules and a comparable position, that becomes a very real alternative,” added Aksu.

But it's not only the working schedule that incites more Americans to seek jobs abroad; salary remuneration is the key point in this trend. In the face of high inflation tion, many households feel pressured economically, and in recent months the financial situation for some has been worsening, which is why salary is their main motivation.

Although for Aksu, even if the salary is lower, but there are better public services, medical care, transportation, childcare and a better work-life balance, can make the job offer more attractive.
