Dubai has become the most popular destination for US citizens to look for new jobs abroad, according to new research.
Research by health benefits provider Aetna International has revealed that US citizens are becoming more diverse when searching for jobs overseas with Dubai leap-frogging London as the top destination.

Since January 2013, Dubai has been the most sought-after location among US citizens searching for ‘jobs in (country)’ as they consider working abroad. This moves Europe’s primary financial centre, London, to second-place after being the top of the wish-list since 2006.

Aetna International looked at Google Trends data for the world’s 40 largest countries and their capitals since 2006.

Caroline Pain, marketing director Aetna International, said: “Compared with 2006, US citizens appear to be considering a far broader range of countries than ever before when it comes to working abroad. “Dubai has now overtaken London as the most popular city for Americans looking for jobs overseas. It’s also interesting to see Paris becoming the third most-searched global city, pushing Singapore down the table.”

The remainder of the top ten most searched capital cities since January 2006 form a mix of old Europe – Rome, Geneva and Amsterdam – plus Cape Town in South Africa, Mexico City, and Ottawa in Canada… see more
