English summary
Luxembourg’s statistics office, Statec, announced that a new automatic wage indexation is expected in June 2026, following its trigger in May. This would be the first indexation since May 2025. Statec stressed that its inflation forecasts remain highly uncertain due to geopolitical risks, particularly the conflict in the Middle East and the potential long-term disruption of the Strait of Hormuz.
In its central scenario, Statec expects two indexation tranches during its forecast period: one in June 2026 and another in the second quarter of 2027 (earlier than previously expected). If inflation rises faster, a third indexation could be triggered as early as the third quarter of 2026. Inflation for 2026 is projected to range between 2.3% and 4%, depending on how the international situation evolves.
The June indexation would automatically raise wages by 2.5%, also affecting pensions, family allowances, unemployment benefits, and parental leave compensation. The monthly minimum wage would increase from €2,703.74 to €2,771.30, and the qualified minimum wage from €3,244.48 to €3,325.60.
While indexation is designed to protect purchasing power, it remains controversial. Michel Reckinger, president of the Union of Luxembourg Enterprises (UEL), warned that the timing is poor, citing weak competitiveness, slow growth, rising unemployment, and increased pressure on businesses already under financial strain.

Every day I hear how hard it is for people in Luxembourg to find jobs, which I totally agree. Its very tough now.
Meanwhile, the company where I work opened an internship position… and 90% of the CVs coming through HR are from candidates from non-EU countries, some in their 30s with 5–8 years of experience...for an internship.
I hear the same story from people working at other large companies.
Something doesn’t add up.
Do locals and EU citizens just get entry level jobs without having to go through an internship and this is why they don´t apply or do companies have an incentive to hire non-EU nationals?
I would like to challenge this with HR but I feel I would just get in trouble.

Hi,
I’m 32 years old with 8+ years of experience working as a Senior Software Engineer (Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka, AWS, React/Angular). I’ve been working in Luxembourg for more than 3 years and have experience with clients like the European Investment Bank, European Commission, and large retail companies.
I don’t have a clear idea of what is considered a good compensation for this profile in Luxembourg, so I’m trying to understand what the typical gross compensation range looks like for someone like me.

Hello to all,
I’m currently considering relocating to Luxembourg and I am interviewing for jobs and several offer 80k€ per year. As a single person class taxe 1, is this offer enough to live comfortably in Luxembourg? I currently live in France, like to travel and would like to have a one bedroom apartment. The annual gross is higher than what I currently earn, but Luxembourg is more expensive than France so I don’t want to end up struggling in Luxembourg. The website’s I’m checking, say this is 4445€ net or so and I’m seeing the housing market and I believe that I might have a lot of difficulty getting a one bedroom apartment seeing the prices and that you need to earn 3x to get a space and at my age living in a shared flat is just out of the question. Should I push for 85k gross annually at least?Thanks a lot for your help.
