Luxembourg Job Market Gains Momentum in Q3 2025, But Unemployment Remains Stable

A new update from STATEC shows that Luxembourg’s labour market regained steam in the third quarter of 2025, with employment rising by 0.5% — a noticeable acceleration after modest gains earlier in the year.

Both residents and cross-border workers contributed to the growth, with resident employment climbing 0.4% and commuters 0.5%. The expansion was driven largely by business services (especially temporary work and landscaping/building services) and the public sector, which remained the top job creator.

At the same time, job vacancies began to rise again in September and October, especially in business services, finance, and construction — signaling renewed demand for labour.

Despite these positives, the unemployment rate in Luxembourg has not fallen sharply; it has recently stabilised around 6.0% of the labour force.

Looking beyond labour, the report forecasts relief for consumers on energy costs: electricity prices are expected to drop by roughly 15% early next year, as state support for the supply network is maintained and wholesale tariffs ease.

Overall, the third quarter data suggests a cautiously optimistic recovery: more jobs and growing demand, but also persistent unemployment — a reminder that economic momentum remains fragile even as conditions improve.
