Greek labor market and employment trends

Overview

Greece is implementing measures to address labor market needs and improve employment prospects. The government has established a quota of 94,240 job positions for third-country nationals for 2026, with the largest demand coming from the primary sector (agriculture, livestock, forestry, and fishing) and tourism.

Complementing these policy measures, employment outlooks for the fourth quarter of 2026 show signs of improvement. A survey by ManpowerGroup indicates a rising Net Employment Outlook index, driven largely by the tourism, hotel, and catering sectors. While 28% of surveyed employers intend to increase their workforce, a majority plan to maintain current staffing levels.
