About Emploi à temps plein (CHF)

Full-time employment for Switzerland tracks the number of workers in positions of 35 hours or more per week. Changes in full-time employment are seen as a higher-quality signal than total employment, which can be skewed by part-time work.

Why FX traders watch it

Full-time employment growth indicates sustained business confidence and demand for labour, signalling durable economic expansion and potential wage pressure that the Swiss National Bank monitors closely.

How to interpret the data

Strong full-time job creation supports the chf as it implies businesses are expanding capacity. When full-time employment falls even as total employment rises, it may indicate a quality deterioration in the labour market.
