For the better part of this decade, the Ethiopian economy registered an impressive growth in many sectors, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, hospitality and service sectors. Data supplied by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows, between year 2003 and 2008, Ethiopia registered an overall economic growth rates of between 5 and 12% per year.
As a result of this economic development, workers in many sectors have been getting better employment opportunities than in years past, and salaries have been going up steadily. Some sectors appear to be doing better than others, including engineering, accounting, finance, and IT Ethiopian jobs. There seems to be more job vacancies in Ethiopia in these areas than in others.
As one might expect, salaries vary widely from company to company, job to job, and region to region. Most companies do not advertise what they will pay ahead of time. Typically, in job vacancy in Ethiopia, salaries are posted as negotiable and/or dependent on company scale. However, to give a very rough indication, graduates in IT and Engineering with 2-3 years of experience may expect, on average, 3000-4000 ETB (300-400 USD) per month. Workers with longer experience and/or higher degrees may command more money.
Although there are a lot of people looking for vacancy in Ethiopia, some companies may find it difficult to get the right talent to fill their job vacancy in Ethiopia. This is primarily due to lack of experience of candidates in certain areas such as IT where the required expertise may be in short supply. Another issue that foreign companies in particular will find frustrating is the lack of strong work-ethic on the part of Ethiopian jobs workforce. In a recent survey conducted for World Economic Forum, poor work ethic in national labor force was ranked among the top five biggest problems in doing business in Ethiopia. Hence, companies may need to put considerable resources to train their workers in all aspects of their business so the employees do their job satisfactorily.
