Luxembourg has the highest statutory minimum wage in the EU – from 1 June 2026, €2,771.33 a month for unskilled and €3,325.59 for skilled workers. The job market is international and multilingual: you should master at least two languages, including French, German or Luxembourgish. Finance, IT, engineering, healthcare and construction are short of staff.
Many jobs are also advertised on company websites, private job sites and LinkedIn. Because many employees commute from France, Belgium and Germany, competition is international – language skills and a well-targeted application make the difference.
