US tariffs shock Swiss firms: Why jobs are at risk. Hidden struggle for exports revealed.
US tariffs are causing serious worry for Swiss companies. These new taxes make it harder for Swiss goods to be sold in America. Businesses are now looking for new places to sell their products around the world.
This is a tough time for many. Around 20,000 jobs in Switzerland are now facing risk because of these tariffs. The Swiss government is trying to help companies and workers.
Switzerland has decided to extend its support for short-time work. This means the government will continue to help pay workers if their hours are reduced. This is a move to soften the blow of the US tariffs.
Companies are working hard to find other export markets. This situation shows how global trade rules can quickly affect many people's jobs. More measures may be needed as the situation develops.
