In the 4th quarter of 2022, most of the foreign cross-border commuters working in Switzerland were from France, with around 214,399 people commuting to Switzerland daily. Therefore, French commuters account for 56.21 percent of all cross-border commuters.
Foreign cross-border commuters are employed persons of foreign nationality with a specific cross-border commuter permit (G permit) who are in paid employment in Switzerland. Cross-border commuters must return to their main place of residence abroad at least once a week.

The values were rounded. The shares and rates of change were calculated from the absolute values stated in the source.
According to the source, the results are subject to a certain degree of uncertainty. The coding of some variables is neither obligatory or subject to plausibility tests. Furthermore, some job changes are not necessarily reported and are only recorded in the register when the cross-border commuter permit is renewed, which may be reflected in the data on place of work, economic sector and, to a lesser extent, employment status.
Since 1 June 2007, nationals of EU-17/EFTA member states are no longer bound by border zones. This means that cross-border commuters can pursue gainful employment in all cantons.
