Arcelor, BIL, Post...Top 10 employers in Luxembourg since 2010

The government, still the largest employer in the country, is excluded from the list.

With almost 28,000 employees, it has six times more workers than the Post, which tops the list with 4,540 employees as of 1 January 2019.

The Post has climbed to the top of the list from fourth place in 2010.

The ten businesses which make up the list account for almost 10% of all Luxembourg's employment, according to the Fondation Idea report.

CFL IN SECOND PLACE

Between 2010 and 2019, the top ten changed dramatically due to company mergers, divestitures or modifications to the structures following household demand, said the Fondation.

Notable changes are as follows:

• The BIL fell from 3rd place in 2010 with 3,830 employees, exiting the top 10 in 2019 with 1,910 employees. It was replaced by PWC.
• The CFL became the second largest employer in the country (3,490 employees in 2010, 4,360 in 2019)
• ArcelorMittal  dropped from first to sixth place (6,170 employees in 2010, 3,810 in 2019) 
• Amazon also entered the top ten with 2,250 employees in 2019.
