The number of cross border workers continues to grow.
The Federal Statistics Office says last year there were 6% more foreign nationals living in a neighbouring country and working in Switzerland.
In total they make up more than 7% of all workers in the country.
The figures are based on how many G permits have been issued. Swiss nationals who live in a neighbouring country do not need a frontalier permit.
Most border workers live in France, at 53% - then Italy at 17% and then the rest spilt between Germany and Austria. Less than 1% live in a country which doesn’t border Switzerland.
To qualify for a frontalier permit, the worker has to return to their main place of residence at least once a week.
