Working in Luxembourg

Luxembourg unites many attractive career opportunities with a high level of life quality and consequently acts as a magnet for many people. Find out why a change could also be of interest for you.

There is hardly any other country in Europe that offers such a large measure of international flair and variety on such a small area as Luxembourg. This is not only due to the numerous offices of European bodies but also the 150 or so banks that are located here. As a result, Luxembourg has become established as one of the leading financial and fund centres in Europe.

More than 25,000 people work in the financial sector and a substantial proportion commute into the country daily from the border regions in Belgium, France or Germany. The general conditions are one reason they like Luxembourg. For example, employees in Luxembourg make substantially lower social security contributions than in Germany: currently 2.95% of gross salary for health insurance and a total of 8% for pension and unemployment insurance. There is also nursing care insurance at 1.4% of gross salary. NB: although the contributions are lower, the benefits are absolutely comparable with those in Germany.

Not only are the job prospects good, but it is also possible to benefit from the top-level leisure and cultural facilities provided by the city and country of Luxembourg. Just right for those who wish to escape city stress without giving up the pleasant and fine things in life.
