How we measure this

BFS · STATENT

Number of jobs (employment at the workplace) divided by the permanent resident population of the municipality, from the FSO business structure statistics (STATENT, 2024) and the population statistics. A value above 1 means more jobs than residents — typical of hubs with large employers, airports or industrial sites. Residential municipalities sit well below.
