Job market
In 2008, there were close to 75,000 people gainfully employed in the Winterthur region. Thanks to its big catchment area and a broad range of education and training facilities, the region has a large pool of well-qualified craftsmen and professionals and thus offers an excellent basis for corporate success. More than 180,000 people live in the Winterthur region.
Due to its vicinity to Germany and Austria in particular, the Winterthur region is increasingly attracting well-educated workers from Switzerland’s neighboring countries. Working hours in Switzerland (42 hours a week on average) are longer than in most other countries of Europe. Together with the impressively fast time-to-market rate for technological innovations, this is a major factor in the Swiss economy’s above-average productivity.
