About the EURES Member
Why working in Slovenia might be a good choice?
Slovenia lies between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, offering a safe and green environment with a strong sense of community. People here enjoy a healthy work-life balance, good healthcare, and high life satisfaction. More than 70% of Slovenians speak one ore more of foreign languages, especially English, German, Croatian or Italian, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home.
With a population of just over 2 million and an area of 20,273 km², Slovenia combines modern cities with easy access to nature. The average gross salary is around €2,630 (net €1,680), and unemployment remains low at around 4 - 5 % in early 2026. A stable economy, growing wages, and a welcoming lifestyle make Slovenia an excellent choice for work and life.
