The Maltese labour market has always been distinct, shaped by the island’s compact size, diverse economy, and a workforce in constant demand.
Unemployment rates have remained low, making talent scarce. This translates into fierce competition to attract and retain the right individuals. There is no shortage of open roles; the challenge lies in finding people to fill them.
This environment empowers jobseekers, giving them the ability to weigh multiple opportunities and negotiate terms that align with their career goals. Employers, on the other hand, must refine their strategies, offering competitive salaries, robust benefits, and a compelling workplace culture to attract the talent they need.
Using data from jobs posted by Reed, our 2025 Malta salary guide is the ultimate salary checker. By using our guide to inform your average salary, you’ll discover what job roles are worth across the country, helping you to stand out when looking for new employees or searching for your next role.
