The data reveals that Italy leads European countries in temporary employment in accommodation and food services, followed closely by Spain and France. In 2023, significant contractions were seen in Spain, Germany, and Portugal, with Malta and Iceland exhibiting remarkable growth. Conversely, countries like Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Slovakia experienced double-digit declines. Over the last five years, growth across Europe was uneven with noticeable variations by country.
Future trends to watch for include potential recovery or further declines in countries like Germany and Spain due to economic shifts, and continued growth in smaller markets like Malta and Iceland as they capitalize on burgeoning tourism sectors and increasing demand for temporary employment solutions. Monitoring these patterns could help anticipate broader economic impacts in the European accommodation and food services sector.
