Employment in the Netherlands grew by 16,800 jobs in October 2017. Growth was mainly in business services, where the number of jobs increased by over 11,000 according to the ADP Netherlands Employment Report. This monthly report is produced by the ADP Research Institute in collaboration with Moody's Analytics.
The report shows the monthly development of total (non-agricultural) employment in the Netherlands, based on real employment figures. Thus, it is not based on data from people seeking a job.
Solid job growth in business services
"The Netherlands saw strong growth in employment in October. Compared to last October, the number of jobs grew by 2.5%," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "Most sectors experienced significant growth, with business services taking the lead unsurprisingly. Business services have already shown robust growth in the past year."
