Luxembourg: A Land of Opportunity
Luxembourg, despite its small size, boasts a robust economy and one of the highest GDPs per capita globally. Known for its thriving financial sector, it’s a hub for international business. The country’s multilingual environment (Luxembourgish, French, and German) and widespread use of English make it a welcoming place for expats. With a high quality of life and a strong demand for foreign workers from both EU and non-EU countries, Luxembourg is actively seeking individuals to fill various roles.
Unskilled Jobs with Excellent Pay:
Here’s the exciting part: Luxembourg is actively looking for unskilled workers! Let’s break down the available positions and their estimated salaries:
- Sales: (Cashiers, shelf stockers in supermarkets) – €2,744
- Cleaning: (Offices, homes, public areas, schools, hospitals, hotels) – €2,715
- Hospitality: (Waiters/waitresses in restaurants, hotels, spas, cafes) – Salary not specified
- Construction: (Laborers, general helpers, landscapers) – €2,644
- Caregivers/Nannies: – €2,698
- Domestic Help: (Housekeeping, live-in/live-out) – €2,562
These salaries are significantly higher than what you might find in many other countries, reflecting Luxembourg’s high cost of living and strong economy.
Why Luxembourg Needs Unskilled Workers:
Just like in the UK, many Luxembourg citizens prefer not to take on these types of jobs. This creates a demand that companies are eager to fill with foreign workers. The country’s wealth allows for this influx of labor, creating opportunities for those seeking a better life.
What You’ll Need:
To secure a sponsored job in Luxembourg, you’ll generally need:
- A valid passport.
- A completed application form.
- A criminal record certificate.
- An employment contract (once offered the job).
- An applicant CV.
- Certificates from the AGEM (government body that authorizes companies to hire foreign workers).
Salary Expectations
You can expect salaries ranging from €2,000 to €4,000, depending on the job and hours worked. The higher cost of living in Luxembourg is reflected in these wages.

Important Notes:
- Luxembourg prioritizes skilled workers in finance, management, and STEM fields, but unskilled workers are still needed.
- EURES may have listings in languages other than English, so be prepared.
- LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, Relocate.me, and Gol Jobs are other great resources, but always verify the authenticity of job postings. When searching on Indeed, search “Luxembourg, Luxembourg” to filter out results from other locations with the same name.
