Switzerland updated the list of jobs requiring vacancy reports before public posting

On 2 December 2025, the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research published the updated list of professions in connection with which employers must report a vacancy to the local unemployment office prior to publicly advertising the vacancy. The updated list will go into effect on 1 January 2026 and reflect the annual adjustment based on unemployment rates at a national level.
