High demand for construction specialists despite economic downturn
The number of job vacancies has fallen significantly compared with the previous year, as highlighted by the Adecco Group Swiss Job Market Index. However, the situation stabilised in the third quarter of 2024 and the number of job offers increased slightly. The construction industry is a vital linchpin of the Swiss economy. Although the number of job vacancies in construction professions also fell compared with last year, demand for these specialists has remained at a high level. There is also expected to be a further increase in demand for construction specialists in the future.
