There have never been as many employees of non-Danish citizenship in the Faroese labour force as now, reports Statistics Faroe Islands.

In June 2022, 6.5 percent of the Faroese labour force consisted of non-Danish citizens, up from 5.2% in June 2021.

In the mid ’90s, less than one percent of the labour force were non-Danish citizens.

Statistics Faroe Islands has been compiling Faroese labour force data since 1985.
