Geneva has recorded another rise in cross-border workers, with the latest figures up 3.5% over the past year
The cantonal statistics office puts the total at 116,213 at the end of September — nearly 3,900 more than a year ago, and well above the modest 0.8% rise recorded the previous year.
Geneva remains the country's biggest employer of frontier workers, accounting for 28% of the national workforce.
The jump reflects a regional labour market that draws heavily from Haute-Savoie and the Pays de Gex.
The figures do not include Swiss citizens or international civil servants who live across the border.
