It is true that Italians are mostly employed in accom- modation and catering and that many Filipinos work within the healthcare industry or with private households. But it is equally not true that all the Swedes in Malta have a job in the iGaming indus- try; many of them work in the professional and scientific fields. And while it turns out that there are, indeed, many Serbs working in the catering industry, the vast majority of Serbs in Malta actually work in construction. EU nationals A total of 29,660 EU nation- als were registered for work in Malta by the end of last year, with the most popular indus- try being the arts, entertain- ment and recreation industry. In fact, this industry employs a total of 5,214 EU nationals, a direct consequence of the growth of the iGaming sector. Out of the 1,359 Swedes who were registered as working in Malta, 667 were listed as employed in arts and enter- tainment. Another 219 were employed in professional, sci- entific and technical activities, while a further 115 were em- ployed in administrative and support service activities. But although Italians are the most numerous, the majority were employed in the accom- modation and food service – a total of 1,473. The majority of Hungarians working in Malta were also employed in this sector, at 530 out of 1,592. 651 out of the 2,439 workers from Bulgaria in Malta were employed in the accommo- da-tion and food services in- dustry. A significant number; 351, were registered in admin- istration and support while another 285 were working in construction. Manufactur-ing is also popular with Bulgar- ians, as 240 were registered as employed in this sector. Arts and entertainment is al- so popular among the French and Finnish, with 280 and 261 being employed in this sector re-spectively. Out of the 1,090 French workers registered in Malta, 155 were employed in professional and technical jobs while another 135 were employed in administration and support. EEA and EFTA Out of the 246 Norwegians employed in Malta, 151 work in the arts and entertain-ment industry – further highlighting the growth of the iGaming sec- tor. People from Switzerland who worked in Malta – around 94 – were spread among the arts, professional, administrative, financial, and accommodation and food industries in similar numbers. Only 17 workers from Iceland were registered to be working in Malta, in eight different in- dustry groups. Third country nationals A total of 12,407 workers were registered as third coun- try nationals, with the larg- est share being Filipinos and Serbs at 2,413 and 2,329 re- spectively. Workers from the Philip- pines were mostly employed in the most popular indus- try group in this category – administrative and support service activities, at 1,011. A further 544 were employed in human health and social work services, and another 330 were employed within households. Serbs were also mostly em- ployed in administrative and support jobs at 858, while 444 were working in the construc- tion industry and 422 were employed in accommodation and catering. A significant number of workers, a total of 468, came from Macedonia. 170 were employed in administrative jobs while 127 worked in ac- commodation and catering. The most popular industry group for Indians employed in Malta – a total of 922 – was human health and social work, at 456. A further 157 were em- ployed in construction. Libyans were more evenly spread out through all indus- try groups, totalling to 414, with the most popular indus- try group being wholesale and retail trade, at 76. Another 58 were employed in construc- tion and a further 55 were em- ployed as professionals or in technical jobs.
