September 14, 2026 · 3 MIN READ · STORY 113
Employment increased 1.4% year on year in the second quarter of 2026, according to CYSTAT.
What this report covers
The release concerns the broad public sector of the Republic of Cyprus and is separate from North Cyprus public employment.
Local context
CYSTAT reported 78,433 people employed in the broad public sector in the second quarter of 2026, an annual increase of 1,119 people, or 1.4%.
Who this matters to
Of the total, 73,284 worked in general government and 5,149 in publicly owned enterprises and companies. Compared with the first quarter, the total changed only marginally, so the annual rise should not be read as a sudden quarterly hiring surge.
