      On a sidenote, Germany’s unempoloyment numbers are much higher, but they get skewed by Germany putting people into programs to learn german or some useless certification / crash course / reskilling (actually that’s ok but it takes 2 years)

      Not surprised, not a lot of open positions + a lot of offshoring in the news or just straight up closed departments/companys.

      There is just too much off-shoring happening. Saying this as an Indian immigrant to Switzerland, a lot of times jobs are being off shored at a fraction(say 15-20% of the costs) and the results are not good.

      There are certainly good Indian employees but now they would cost around 45-50% of what a Swiss employee would cost.

      But then we work in a capitalist system which prioritises profits over people so this was bound to happen. First they came for the manufacturing jobs and now they are coming for services and R&D. It’s mostly the bean counters and the suits who stay in Switzerland improverishing everyone else.

      EDIT – mostly talking about jobs in Tech R&D.

      I’m not really seeing a decrease in jobs in my industry BUT the job requirements and contract conditions are getting progressively worse. Can we please just get rid of recruiters alltogether and go back to direct permanent contracts with actual benefits? I didn’t spend 5 years studying to become a washed up consultant who has to change site every 6 months.

      *Way* too many people from all over Europe and even beyond have been flocking here given higher pay, and Swiss corporate + political world has been all too happy to accomodate.

      Now we’ll need to start cancelling B Auslanderausweis, etc.

      Just end capitalism and put people before profit, that is, people producing profit and benefiting from it, so distribution of profit, and all will run smoothly.
      Create direct long-term employment, no intermediates such as “engineering cabinets of consultants.” Encentivate specialisation and allow people from different professional experience and backgrounds to change and be well trained and integrated, and business as employment will flourish ✨️.

      The situation is even worse for young graduates. Been looking for 5 months now without success

      Plus it’s a trailing figure, so likely it’s an optimistic take on the results of an approximate analysis

      There has been a lot of layoffs from big corps this year tbh, I am not sure if this is not only happening in white collar jobs or countrywide

      Was at the RAV today and the advisor was honest in saying next to no one is getting permanent positions and there’s higher competition on temp roles.
      But still believes it takes 6-12 months to land a role but there’s data which shows still highly probable you get a role within the 9-12 months.
