Economy on the rise: A good time for a career change and a new job!

Did you take the time to think about your work and your future during the summer holidays? Maybe you are ready for a new challenge. This is the perfect time to take that step! With the Dutch economy on the rise again, the current labour market offers plenty of opportunities for those looking for a new job.

The Dutch economy is recovering strongly

The latest figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS) show that the Dutch economy grew by 1 percent in the second quarter of this year compared to the previous quarter. This is a significant improvement, especially after the contraction that was measured in the first months of the year. The growth was even stronger than economists had expected, including Peter Hein van Mulligen, chief economist at CBS.

Although it is still too early to speak of a long-term upward trend, this economic recovery gives a lot of confidence. The industrial sector in particular contributed to the recovery, with an increase in production and an increase in exports of 1.3 percent. This is a positive signal for the Dutch economy, which has performed inconsistently since 2023.

Labor market in full swing, are you also looking for a new job?

The positive economic developments are also reflected in the labor market. The number of jobs increased by 0.2 percent to 11.6 million in the past quarter. Although the number of vacancies has fallen slightly, there are still more vacancies than unemployed people in the Netherlands. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for job seekers.

Minister Beljaarts of Economic Affairs sees these figures as good news, but also warns that future prosperity may come under pressure due to an aging population and a shortage of personnel and housing. Nevertheless, the current labor market still offers a wide range of opportunities, especially for people who want to retrain or are considering a career change.
