Short answer
The Azorean job market is small and seasonal, with most opportunities in tourism, hospitality, agriculture, dairy, fishing, construction and care work. Portuguese helps a lot, and some roles require it. Salaries tend to be modest, so many newcomers combine local work with remote income. Check IEFP and local employers for current openings.
