The labour market in Switzerland is welcoming for foreigners, especially in senior management level positions so over one-fifth of the country’s full-time employment market is made of foreign workers. Since Switzerland ageing workforce is also leading to skills shortages, expats and language speakers are thought after in many sectors such as finance, insurance, pharmaceutical, communications and hospitality especially in and around Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Bern.
