This content was published on
How far does almost CHF7,000 ($7,850) go in Switzerland? New statistics make the median salary sound mouth-watering, but there are big variations across sectors and incomes.
About 34.5% of those who changed jobs reoriented themselves professionally. Employees aged between 25 and 64 who changed jobs between 2022 and 2023 had worked in the same company for an average of 5.6 years before leaving. Women changed jobs faster than men (5.2 years compared to 5.9 years).
