GCLO Worldwide Family Member Employment Overview Logo

The Global Community Liaison Office routinely collects family member employment statistics from over 200 overseas posts. These statistics show the number of adult family members employed inside a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas, as well as those working on the local economy of their host country. The statistics also indicate the number of adult family members at post.

Find post-specific FAMERs, by emailing GCLOAskEmployment@state.gov or via FSI’s Post Info to Go-External (PITG-E). To obtain a PITG password, email PostInfotoGoExternal@state.gov with your name, agency, employee sponsor and their “.gov” email address, and post of assignment.
