Employment Statistics (ES)

The Employment Statistics provide important structural and economic information that can be used to monitor the labour market. Everyone working in Switzerland is covered by these statistics. Persons in employment are those who carry out an economic activity as defined by the national accounts for at least one hour per week. The ES were created in 1977. General figures go back as far as 1948. Other, more detailed figures as far as 1960.
