Have you been contemplating migrating to another African country in order to get a better salary? Maybe you should move and there is data to help you out.
While you are killing yourself working overtime yet your salary remains the same, there are countries in Africa you can shift to and even with tax deductions, you will still be smiling all the way to the bank.
According to data by Numbeo, here is the list of countries in Africa with highest paying jobs that you should move to.
1. Libya
Libya
made to the top of the country in Africa with the highest paying jobs.
This desert and oil-rich country in the Maghreb region in Africa is
mostly known for four decades of rule by Muammar Gaddafi and the chaos
that followed after his death. And even with the current political chaos
and deteriorating security, the average monthly net salary after tax in
Libya is $1,713.77.
The
Purchasing Power Parity (GDP) is $90.89 billion while the GDP per
capita is $14,200. And while the chaos may be a hindrance to stability
in the region, Libya oil reserves estimated at 48 billion barrels not
just make Libya one of the top 10 oil-rich countries in the world but
also, it keeps the people happy with the highest salary and a low cost
of living index of 42.22.
2. Zambia
The
first thing that will make you move into this landlord country with
rugged terrain is the diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari
opportunities. Zambia has an average monthly salary of $1,482.22 and
that is gold to anybody. According to the data on the site, the cost of
living and rent in Zambia is low. The GDP per capita is 1607.36. Despite
all that glamour, the country is currently in a political crisis and
most of its economic and legal systems are still tainted by colonial
attitudes.
3. South Africa
At
the end of the day, we all want jobs that pay us well. Lawyers,
computer and information systems managers, air traffic controllers,
petroleum controllers, architects, software engineering are some of the
jobs paid super well in South Africa. South Africa is the continent’s
mining powerhouse. Numbeo says the average monthly net salary after tax
in South Africa is $1,188.89. Though whites still have the best quality of life in the country, it still offers unique experience for sampling.
4. Namibia
Nambia’s
economy heavily depends on the extraction and processing of minerals
for exports. Mining accounts for 11.5% of GDP but provides more than 50%
of foreign exchange earnings. Its GDP per capita is $11,800 while its
gross national saving is 16.8 per cent and household consumption is 63.5
per cent. Namibia is also one of the world’s five producers of uranium
and also has rich diamond deposits. Though the country economy is
currently vulnerable to world commodity price fluctuations and droughts,
people in Namibia are paid an average of $753.73 a month.
5. Mauritius
Located
off the southeast coast of Africa, this tiny Island has a history of
political stability coupled by a good governance record and an open and
flexible regulatory system. It is Africa's most competitive economy.
With just 1.3 million people, the country’s economic growth increased in
2016 mainly supported by recovering investment activity. Despite global
slowdown in recent years, the country’s annual growth rates remain
high. Popularly known for its stunning coral reefs and diverse wildlife
and plants, this stunning country pays one $666.66 on average a month.
6. Tanzania
This
is the 6th highest paying economy in Africa with an average of $422.57
according to Numbeo. Half of employed workforce in Tanzania depends on
agriculture for employment. According to World Bank,
the country has maintained relatively stable, high growth over the last
decade, recording a 7 percent per annum. The poverty rate has declined
and the political stability driven by John Magufuli remains the
foundation of Tanzania’s strong economic performance.
7. Morocco
Since October 2016, Morocco has been undergoing political decay.
The country now has a broad coalition formed by six parties.
Agricultural production presents 15 percent of country’s GDP and though
affected by drought in 2016, the country had a record cereal production
in 2015. Macroeconomic policies and subsidy reforms have improved the
country by miles. GDP is expected to shoot to 3.7 per cent and
agricultural GDP by 10 per cent. These positive developments couple with
a salary of $402.41 should motivate you to move to Morocco.
8. Zimbabwe
The
average monthly salary after tax is $352.78. The land of Robert Mugabe
can achieve more economic growth and poverty reduction if the country
tackles its political flaws and reaches an agreement on inclusive and
competitive investment policies.
9. Ghana
The
country has made huge steps towards democracy. It boasts of an
independent judicial system, and freedom of press and speech. Expect an
average of $313.00 per month if you shift in Ghana and also improved
economic growth driven by oil and non-oil sectors.
10. Algeria

low global oil prices, the Algerian economy grew at 3.8% in 2016. The
economy is however expected to slow down in 2017-2019. The average
