Distribution of assignments: which sectors recruit through temporary work?
Temporary work in Monaco remains highly concentrated in certain sectors, depending on specific and seasonal needs.
- The construction/building and public works sector dominates, accounting for 42.1% of temporary assignments in 2024.
This sector also accounts for the majority of temporary work days: it is the mainstay of temporary work in Monaco. - In second place is accommodation and catering, with 20.4% of assignments, although many of these are short-term (often one day) rather than long-term assignments.
- Next come a variety of sectors such as support services, administrative or technical activities, in which temporary work can be used to provide occasional reinforcement as needed.
This sector profile shows that temporary work is mainly used to respond to peaks in demand (construction sites, tourist season, catering, etc.) rather than to fill permanent jobs in stable sectors.
