Where Are the LGBTQ+ Jobs? 20 Cities, Counted

September 16, 2026

There are 65,872 live roles on myGwork right now, all at employers that have made a public commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion. The question most jobseekers actually ask is narrower than "where are the LGBTQ+ jobs" — it is whether there are any near them. So we counted, city by city, on 16 September 2026.

Two things stand out before the list. The first is how uneven the distribution is: London alone carries more openings than Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw combined. The second is how much of the inventory sits outside the cities people expect — Bangalore and Tokyo both carry more live roles than San Francisco.

LGBTQ+ inclusive jobs by city

And by country

What "LGBTQ+ inclusive" means on this list, and what it does not

Every role above comes from an employer that has published a profile with us covering its policies, benefits, employee networks and leadership position. That is a meaningfully higher bar than a job appearing on a general board, and it is not the same as a guarantee.

The gap between a global policy and a local reality is the thing to interrogate, particularly outside the employer's home market. A company can run an excellent inclusion programme in London and a local handbook in another country that quietly tracks local law instead. That is a question worth asking in an interview rather than assuming either way, and our guide to what to check before you accept an offer sets out how, in a market with no statutory protection.

Frequently asked questions

Which city has the most LGBTQ+ inclusive jobs?

London, with 2,876 live roles as of 16 September 2026 — nearly twice New York's 1,563. At country level the United States leads with 24,213.

Do I have to be LGBTQ+ to apply?

No. These are ordinary jobs at employers who have committed to inclusive hiring, open to anyone. Membership is free and does not require you to disclose anything about your identity.

How current are these numbers?

They were counted on 16 September 2026 and move daily as roles are posted and filled. The links go to live listings, so the figure you see will be today's rather than ours.
