Number of full-time and part-time employees in the EU 2002-2023

There are over 199 million employees in the European Union as of 2023, an increase when compared with 2022 when there were approximately 197 million full-time workers in the EU. At the time of the financial crash of 2008, full-time workers numbered around 158.7 million, but dropped to 147.9 million by 2013. It was not until ten years later in 2018, that the number of full-time workers recovered to pre-crisis levels. The number of part-time employees has grown consistently since 2002, growing from less than 25 million employees to over 35 million in 2023.

截至2023年，欧盟拥有超过一亿九千九百万员工，这一数字相较于2022年的约一亿九千七百万全职工作者有所增长。在2008年金融危机爆发之际，全职工作者的人数约为一亿五千八百七十万，但到2013年这一数字降至一亿四千七百九十万。直至十年之后的2018年，全职工作者的数量才恢复至危机前的水平。自2002年以来，兼职员工的人数持续增长，从不足两千五百万名员工增长至2023年的超过三千五百万名。
