About us

Our tasks range from promoting the canton of Zurich as a business location, connecting stakeholders in key industries, granting work permits and business permits to enforcing the Labour Act, providing public employment services and counselling job seekers as well as operating the unemployment insurance and the cantonal Unemployment Insurance Fund. We are also responsible for housing loans and the cantonal unit for Economic National Supply.

The secretariats of the Tripartite Commission and the cantonal Office for Conciliation in Labour Disputes as well as the labour market monitoring unit AMOSA are also represented in the Office for Economy and Labour.
