English-Speaking Jobs Across Europe

Every listing here is checked for one thing: whether English is enough, or you'll need the local language too. Here's what that says about the market across Europe.

How English-friendly is each country's job market?

In most European countries, the majority of jobs are posted in the local language. Each bar is the full set of listings I gather there, split into the English-speaking jobs (graded by how much local language they still ask for) and everything that isn't in English.

Every percentage is out of all listings scanned in each country, and the grey share is the ones that aren't in English. A country needs at least 500 scraped listings before I publish its breakdown.
