Just under 1 in 2 new graduates with professional education worked from home in 2020

Neuchâtel, 09.05.2022 - For the majority of PET graduates (graduation year 2016), the employment situation in 2020 changed at least temporarily due to measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. 45% of them worked from home, 17% of employed graduates were affected by a reduction of working hours and for around a third of self-employed persons, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in income from employment and a decline in orders. These are the main results from the Federal Statistical Office’s (FSO) latest publication.

This press release and further information on the topic can be found on the FSO website (see link below).
