A quarter of those working in Geneva are frontaliers.
Figures from Swiss and French statistics offices show at the end of last year, 92,000 crossed into Geneva for work every day.
That’s three times as many now than 20 years ago.
It shouldn’t really be that surprising as Geneva has a 100km long border with France – and only a 5 km border with the rest of Switzerland – and that the two regions have a shared language.
The sectors that benefit most from border workers are heath, retail and hospitality.
The Geneva region is seen as highly dynamic economically and has the number of jobs equivalent to the Lyon region – France’s third city.
