Employment Survey

Geological formations on a rocky coastline and a geoscientist examining rock layers in the field.

The EFG Employment Survey aims to take a snapshot of the current labour market for geologists in Europe. Through this survey, we seek to answer crucial questions about the profession:

Which industries are professional geologists working in?
What is their current employment status and security?
Do their professional activities align with their training?
Are they capitalising on job opportunities in other European countries?
What are their prospects for the future?
To boost our advocacy efforts and enhance the recognition of the geologist profession at the European level, EFG needs robust data on the number of geology professionals in Europe and their mobility requirements.
