Regards 07/24 - Panorama of the Luxembourg labour market on May 1st

Labour Day is an opportunity to present a few figures on people in work in Luxembourg. Of the 485,000 employees in Luxembourg, 47% are cross-border commuters (half of them from France). Only one employee in four has Luxembourg nationality. Among residents, 31% of women work part-time, compared with just 7% of men. Young people are mainly concerned by fixed-term employment contracts, which account for 8% of the contracts of resident employees. Temporary work is mainly involuntary and is also prevalent among young people. Although the majority of resident employees are satisfied at work, a quarter of workers say that their pay does not match the work they do. 60% of employed residents use digital tools more than half the time, and more than in other European countries.
