Considering the crazy CHF valuation I am actually surprised how stable the economy still is.
Cost and politics. For international companies it‘s too expensive to hire in Switzerland and current politics doesn‘t make it easier.
Not sure if this is related as I am not an expert but in many companies, they prefer outsourcing to other countries in the EU or elsewhere than paying someone in Switzerland to do the same job for a much higher wage. Whether the quality of the work is equivalent is a completely different question, though.
One of the reasons is „merger of Credit Suisse and UBS“. God knows why we allowed UBS to do that? So that they can offshore the jobs and threaten to move to the US?
Most companies hire a few people in switzelrand, say they have the IP here to get low international taxes and then outsource everything
>Being so export-reliant, Swiss industry has been particularly affected by the uncertainty surrounding the additional customs tariffs of 39%, and then 15%, imposed in 2025 by the United States, Switzerland’s second-largest trading partner after the European Union.
I would just like to point out that nursing, civil engineering, teaching and various other professions here are not dependent on exports.
I am very fortunate to work in one of these fields (civil engineering) and have never had any problems finding a job. Not to mention having to go through the ordeal of assessments.
