Working in Boston


A very educated population has the cyclical effect of attracting top companies and creating more demand for highly educated workers in Boston. Boston's top universities have put the city on the forefront of technology development and have attracted a major technology industry. Top expat employers include the biotechnology industry, higher education, healthcare (including research), finance and technology industries.

Boston is focused on highly skilled knowledge-based jobs. Yet many young professionals can't afford the high cost of living. Salaries should be expected to be higher than the national average but often won't fully compensate for the city's added expenses.
