Labour Market Report
The labour markets across Europe continue to evolve, shaped by economic growth, changing workforce dynamics and new opportunities for talent.
Spain continues to stand out for its strong economic performance and employment growth, with 600,000 new jobs created in 2025. Italy is seeing unemployment fall to its lowest level since before the financial crisis, while Portugal’s growing technology ecosystem continues to attract new companies and investment. At the same time, changing workforce dynamics are influencing how organisations approach talent across the region.
