Survey finds high-earning expats clustered in China

An HSBC survey on quality of life among overseas workers found that expatriates in Asia – particularly those in mainland China – are the most likely to earn over US$250,000 a year, South China Morning Post reported. Switzerland came in first, Singapore second, and mainland China ranked third in the list of favored expat destinations worldwide, with Hong Kong placing 10th. On the mainland, 65% of expat parents said the quality of their children’s education had improved and that they had spent less on daily expenses and leisure since moving abroad.
