The regions of French-speaking Switzerland are characterized by major geographical and economic diversity. Overall, French-speaking Switzerland has developed at a highly dynamic rate over the past decade – as illustrated by the fact that growth in GDP, employment, and population is above the Swiss average. Current indicators show that firms in French-speaking Switzerland have generally emerged from the COVID-19 crisis in good shape. The number of job vacancies reached its highest ever level at the start of 2022. Indeed, hiring problems are increasing, although French-speaking Switzerland does not seem to be as strongly affected by labor shortages as other parts of the country. In particular, the local labor market benefits from the region's age structure – in other words, a relatively young population. The fact that many regions of French-speaking Switzerland are, from a financial perspective, very attractive places to live – especially for families – also plays a role.
