Prague has Europe’s lowest jobless rate
Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful historical cities and a booming urban economy. As the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is the major economic and financial center of the country. Those working in the capital produce roughly a quarter of the country’s rapidly growing GDP.
The Prague region had the lowest unemployment rate in the entire European Union last year with 2.5 percent, according to freshly published data from Eurostat . It shared top spot on the list with Germany’s Upper Bavaria.
The city’s central location within Europe has made it a popular destination for foreign investments. Most multinational companies operating in the Czech Republic have their headquarters in Prague, as do many of the largest Czech companies.
Industries and Business in Prague
In recent decades, Prague has turned from an industrial city to a modern service and R&D-based economy. During this process, local entrepreneurs have been very successful in attracting both foreign and domestic investments.
Nowadays, the service sector is the city’s growth engine and employs around 80% of the workforce in Prague. The most important are the financial sector as well as trade-related services. Another significant part of the workforce is working in Prague’s ever-growing tourist industry.
The number of those working in Prague’s traditional industry domains is declining. The automobile, pharmaceutical and electrical engineering industries remain of importance for the city, however. And, yes, there are still some breweries, too – although their actual economic significance is marginal.
