Cross-border worker job searches
This index lists every indexable search landing page, generated from actual cross-border worker queries.

How it works: each page below collects real job postings for a specific search a cross-border worker actually ran. The original query (e.g. "nurse Lugano salary", "night warehouse worker Mendrisio") is converted to a dedicated URL that indexes matching openings from our database, refreshed daily with positions from Jobs.ch, JobUp, JobScout24, and major Ticino employers (Cantonal Hospital, Cantonal Banks, AXA, Swiss Post). We filter for roles that fit a cross-border profile — shifts compatible with the daily commute from Lombardy/Piedmont, Swiss employment contracts, G permit eligibility.
Who it's for: this index serves both cross-border workers running a very specific search (sector + city + salary level) and those exploring the Ticino job market without a clear target role. Every entry opens a page listing today's open positions, median salary for the role, most frequent employers for that query, and a direct link to the net-salary calculator to simulate the real take-home with G permit under the 2026 New Agreement.
What to expect on net pay: Ticino salary levels remain consistently 35-55 % above the equivalent Italian role, even after Swiss withholding tax and mandatory LAMal health insurance. For an SUP-qualified nurse with 5 years of experience, a gross annual of CHF 88,000 (2026 cantonal median) translates to CHF 6,200-6,400 net per month for an "old" cross-border worker living within 20 km of the border, versus ~ EUR 1,900 net for the Italian national health service equivalent. For a warehouse operator or HGV driver the differential remains substantial: CHF 4,200 monthly net versus EUR 1,500 in Italy. Most Ticino employers also pay a 13th-month salary and — under the most common collective bargaining agreements (hospitality CCT, construction CCNL, healthcare CCT) — a partial 14th-month tied to company targets.
