The jobs of 32.9 million people in the EU were supported by exports to non-EU countries in 2024. They accounted for 15.0% of total EU employment.
EU exports support a significant share of jobs in all countries across the EU.
Exports create opportunities for everyone, both skilled and unskilled workers. These jobs are better paid on average.
Thanks to the EU Single Market, many of the export-supported jobs are located in a different Member State than the one exporting.
