The table below provides an overview of the number of employees by cantons and municipalities as of April 24, 2020, which you can read here.

The published data on employed persons are created based on forms that have been processed to the last status and forwarded to the competent extra-budgetary funds. The difference in the number of employees by residence and place of work is based on the generation procedure and data type.

Namely, the number of employees is based on the employee's residence (JMBG) regardless of where the person is employed (in the municipality of residence or another municipality, or in the same canton or another canton), and the number of employees by place of work, i.e., by employer's location (JIB), is generated according to the number of employees with contribution payment obligations, regardless of whether it is full-time or part-time employment, or where the employee resides (they can be from the municipality where they are employed, but they can be from another municipality or another canton), so the difference in numbers corresponds to the number of persons who have two or more part-time jobs.
