Jobs in Argentina

About 92 percent of the population resides in cities, so most jobs abroad in Argentina will be in the urban centers of Buenos Aires and Córdoba. But for a less populated region, try Bariloche.

Buenos Aires. With 30 million people in the entire metropolis, this city offers the most when it comes to job opportunities in Argentina. The Porteños, people of the port, have an exceptionally high quality of life, especially considering the low costs of living in Buenos Aires. The old-world architecture radiates a colonial ambiance, and the city is often equated to the Rome or Paris of South America. There is a large and friendly expat community willing to assist newcomers in every department. In addition to the growing tourism sector, advertising, finance, and real estate are some of the principal industries in Buenos Aires.  

Córdoba. Known as La Docta due to the high volume of universities and scientific institutes, Córdoba is the industrial and technological hub of Argentina. Centrally located at the foothills of the Sierras Chicas, Córdoba is home to the oldest university in the country and its Jesuit Block has been dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Besides education and technology, there are job opportunities in Córdoba’s manufacturing, textiles, and chemical industries.

Bariloche. With a population of a little over 100,000, this quaint destination city is legendary for all things skiing and trekking. Located on the Western edge of the country, just across the Andes from Chile, the natural scenery is exquisite. With numerous lakes and rivers, the fishing here is spectacular. Settled by German immigrants and built in a Swiss style architecture, it’s no wonder that the town is known for amazing chocolate. While tourism is the driving economic force of the city, there is also plenty of advanced science and technology research taking place. The Argentinian military also does a good deal of training in Bariloche.
