Temporary Employment in Monaco, 2024 Review: a Booming Sector
Every year, temporary work plays an important role in Monaco's job market. The 2024 figures confirm that temporary employment is no longer marginal: it is growing in weight and volume, and has become a pillar of the private workforce.

Breakdown of assignments: which sectors recruit through temporary work?
Temporary work in Monaco remains highly concentrated in certain sectors, depending on one-off and seasonal needs.
- Construction / building & public works clearly dominates: 42.1% of temporary assignments in 2024.
This sector also accounts for the majority of temporary days worked: it is the pillar of temporary employment in Monaco. - In 2nd place: accommodation & food services, with 20.4% of assignments, although many of these are short (often one day) rather than long assignments.
- Next come various sectors such as support services and administrative or technical activities, where temporary work can provide one-off reinforcement as needed.
This sector profile shows that temporary work is mainly used to meet peaks in demand (construction sites, tourist season, catering, etc.) rather than to fill permanent jobs in stable sectors.
