Number of Jersey jobs increase by 440 in a year, figures show

Compared with five years earlier, the total number of jobs increased by 3,250, or 5.2%, Statistics Jersey said.

This comprised an increase of 1,990 jobs in the private sector and 1,260 jobs in the public sector.

In 2026, private sector jobs increased by 330, or 0.6%, while public sector jobs increased by 110, or 1.1%.

The annual increase in public sector jobs was driven by growth in core staff within Health and Care Jersey, partially offset by reductions in other departments, it said.
