The most recent data available relates to 2024. In total, there were just over 31,000 employee jobs in Gibraltar, of which 56.2 % were held by resident workers and 43.8 % by frontier workers. For context, in 2012 frontier workers accounted for around 30 % of total employment, highlighting how the role of cross-border labour has expanded over time.
The data shows that resident employment is concentrated among Gibraltarians and Other British workers, while Spanish and Other EU nationals make up the majority of frontier workers. In contrast, Other and Moroccan workers are largely resident-based, reflecting different employment and residency arrangements within the workforce.
