The labour supply in Switzerland and its neighbouring regions in 2022

In 2022, the 11 major border regions outside Switzerland recorded lower activity rates than the Swiss regions bordering them, but higher rates than their respective national rates. Unemployment rates based on ILO definition were lower than the national averages in the countries concerned and in some cases lower than those of their Swiss neighbours. This illustrates the positive impact of the Swiss labour market on these regions, in particular the employment of 373 000 foreign cross-border commuters. These are some of the results from the publication “L'offre de travail en Suisse et dans les régions limitrophes en 2022", available in French or German.
