Hello,
My husband and I are thinking of Moving to Malta by the summer 2011.
We are both in the hospitality industry where my husband is a Restaurant Manager and I am a also in the Hotel businesss but the Front Desk operations with 2 years experience in online gaming industry.
I am wondering how difficult it is to find a job in Malta and how much they pay?
Is there good transportation system in Malta? As I do not know if we can afford a car.
How is the safety and nurseries in Malta as I have a 1 year old who by that time would need to go to a nursery.
Thank you in advance,
Liv

Hi there

Partial answer.

There is a fairly recent salary survey for Malta, from an employment agency, at http://www.reedglobal.com.mt/__assets/asset421.pdf . In general, I believe Malta is regarded as a fairly low-paying economy. Probably not a place to get rich by working.

Public transport? There is a bus network. It's fairly comprehensive, though a bit "cheap and cheerful". Some people criticise the age of the buses and the courtesy of the drivers. But it more or less works. A reform programme is in hand, and we wait to see the outcome.

Hopefully others will say more.

All good wishes
