Nearly a quarter of those living in the region work in Switzerland. In the regional capital, Annecy, 10% of workers commute into this country very day.

The main French town which supplies the highest number of cross border workers is, unsurprisingly, the closest to the border – Saint-Julien. 60% work in Switzerland.
