Family Member Employment Report (FAMER)

The FAMER provides a snapshot of family member employment at post and includes the number of family members employed both inside and outside the mission. The FAMER is published twice a year, as is The Worldwide Family Member Employment Overview, and serves as a research tool for the bidding season for family members interested in working. The FAMER is available to Department of State employees via OpenNet and to employees of other agencies assigned under Chief of Mission authority by emailing the Community Liaison Office Coordinator (CLO) at post, FSI’s Transition Center via the website Post Info To Go – External or by emailing GCLOAskEmployment@state.gov. Please include the name of the direct hire employee, agency, and post of assignment in the email. See our guide to reading the FAMER.
