According to official data from Greece (ERGANI information system), the start of Greece’s tourism season has led to a hiring spree for roles such as waitstaff, housekeepers, cooks, receptionists, and dishwashers, leading to the creation of 133,907 new jobs.

This is the highest recorded figure for the month of April since 2001, at which point data began being collected, according to a piece by Kostas Papadis. Papadis says the figures signal both another successful tourist season and positive developments in the Greek economy.

Two out of three of the new jobs were full-time positions, while the majority of new hires were women and young people.

During the first four months of 2025, job announcements totaled 1,011,567, while departures reached 824,504. Of those, 480,513 were due to terminations of indefinite or fixed-term contracts, and 343,991 were voluntary resignations.

The quality of employment also shows a positive trend, as 64.62% of new contracts (228,192) were full-time positions. This is attributed both to incentives for full-time hiring and to the difficulty employers face in filling vacancies, prompting them to prioritize full-time over part-time or undeclared and underinsured work. In total, 98,040 part-time hires were recorded (27.77%), along with 26,881 rotational work contracts
