Number of employed people in Sweden 2022, by industry and gender

In 2022, the highest number of people in Sweden were employed in business service and financial industries, reaching around 830,000 employees. Of these, nearly 470,000 were men. Men also dominated within manufacturing, mining and quarrying, energy and environment, as well as several other industries. On the other hand, there were more female than male employees within human health and social work activities, education, and personal and cultural services. The industries with the highest average salaries in Sweden were those with a high number of male employees, which is the main explanation for the gender pay gap in the country.

在2022年，瑞典从事商业服务及金融行业的人数达到峰值，约83万人。其中，男性员工接近47万人。男性在制造业、采矿业及采石业、能源与环境等行业中也占据主导地位。反之，在人类健康与社会工作活动、教育以及个人与文化服务等行业中，女性员工数量超过了男性。在瑞典，拥有最高平均薪资的行业多为男性员工比例较高的行业，这是该国性别薪酬差距的主要原因。
