Luxembourg disbursed €62 million in 2025 unemployment reimbursements to cross-border workers, the highest in six years, ahead of an EU reform projected to increase annual costs by over €200 million starting within a decade.

Luxembourg's national jobs agency registered over 9,500 cross-border jobseekers in 2025, a 70% increase since 2022, while total jobseekers exceeded 42,000 amid labor market pressure despite rising benefit expenditures.
