According to EURES, the occupation groups with the biggest shortages in Greece are:
Most people work in wholesale and retail trade and in accommodation and food services. Tourism makes many jobs seasonal: the South Aegean islands, the Ionian Islands and Crete need many extra staff in hotels, restaurants, catering and entertainment in spring and summer. Seasonal tourism workers have a right to be re-employed in the next season.
There are more candidates than jobs among legal, social and cultural professionals, science and engineering professionals and teachers – so graduates in these fields face strong competition. Unemployment also differs a lot by region: it is lowest in the South Aegean and highest in Western Macedonia.
Key figures: Eurostat (population on 1 January 2026; unemployment and employment rates 2025; minimum wages July 2026); for the United Kingdom – Office for National Statistics; for Liechtenstein – national statistics.
