Foreign workers in Finnish construction sector increase despite economic downturn

The share of foreign workers in Finland's construction sector has seen a notable increase in recent years, according to a recent labor survey conducted by the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries (RT). On average, foreign labor accounts for about 30% of the workforce on construction sites across Finland, an increase from the previous survey conducted in 2019. However, the current economic downturn has led to a decrease in work available for both Finnish and foreign workers in the sector.
