Housing costs and skills shortages threaten Cyprus’ labour market outlook

What this means if you want to work there

Unemployment in Cyprus fell to a historic low of three point six percent in the second quarter of twenty twenty-six. This decline leaves the local economy increasingly reliant on foreign workers to fill open roles. Housing costs and skills shortages now threaten the future outlook for the labour market and wider economic growth. The official report does not yet state what specific wage floors or housing subsidies employers must provide. If you are a skilled worker planning to move to Cyprus, you should prepare your documents now. Keep an updated CV ready in English to share with prospective employers when opportunities arise.
