Is it easy to find jobs in South Africa and what kind of career prospects and standard of living can I expect?. These are some of the questions I often get from people looking for employment in South Africa.

The answer is a qualified yes, meaning that you have to be aware of a few important aspects of the employment situation in our country.

Firstly, the average unemployment figure of 25% in South Africa is high. In the more remote rural areas that figure goes up to as much as 70%.

Secondly, In South Africa we have known a phenomenon called "The Brain Drain", whereby for political, social and economical reasons a large number of highly skilled and educated people have left the country during and since the abolishment of Apartheid. Looking at the job market in South Africa one can clearly see the tremendous shortage of jobs at the low-skill end the shortage of workers at the skill end.
