Switzerland's Job and Wage Outlook for 2025
Get ready for a job market boom in Switzerland next year, especially in sectors that are perpetually short-staffed like healthcare, IT, construction, artificial intelligence, and automation. Check out these trends:
- Robust Labor Market: Even as some industries struggle to fill open positions,strlen these emerging fields continue to lack qualified personnel.
- Slight Salary Increase: While average wages are predicted to go up by just 1.4-1.6%, the booming job market will soften the blow for job-seekers.
- Dual System for Work Authorization: Switzerland adheres to a dual work authorization system. EU/EFTA citizens enjoy more streamlined procedures, while non-EU/EFTA nationals face tougher criteria. Employers must obtain approval from both cantonal labor authorities and the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM).
- In-Demand Occupations: The Swiss Skills Shortage Index has identified rising demand for experts in AI, machine learning, software development, data science, and cybersecurity, along with qualified nurses and medical specialists.
- Employer of Record (EOR): Utilizing an EOR can simplify the hiring process by ensuring compliance with local labor laws and regulations.
No matter your field, Switzerland's booming job market is looking ripe for the picking. So, start brushing up on those skills, spruce up that resumé, and get ready to make moves in 2025!
