Switzerland’s employment level continued to rise in the final months of 2025, with the number of employed people ticking up to 5.544 million in the fourth quarter. This marks a modest increase from 5.532 million recorded in the third quarter of 2025.
The latest figures, updated on 26 February 2026, indicate a still-growing Swiss labor market despite the incremental pace of change. The quarter-on-quarter gain of 12,000 employed persons suggests that hiring remained resilient heading into the end of 2025, hinting at ongoing stability in the broader Swiss economy as it moved into 2026.
