Statec, Luxembourg's national statistical office, has published a report in which the number of employees in the Grand Duchy rose by 1% in 2018 Q1, and 3.8& over the past 12 months.
Over the past year, the number of cross-border workers has evolved faster than that of residents (+4.6% compared to +3.2%).
The first quarter increase was due to job creation in information and communication services (+6.2% - primarily programming), as well as in specialised activities and support services (+5.6%) - primarily due to accounting activities and activities of the head offices.
These two branches cover 20% of salaried employment. They are responsible for 31% of net job creation between the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. During this time, the number of cross-border workers evolved a little faster than that of residents (+4.6% against +3.2%). Among residents, the number of workers from the European Union increased by 3.0% while the number of non-Europeans increased by 11.5%.
