| EURES is an agency of the EU set up to facilitate employment mobility among the member states. Its database of jobs is made up of vacancies sent to EURES by the "public employment services" (PES) of the individual states. Six countries - Denmark, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Finland, Sweden and Slovenia - send all the vacancies registered with the PES. Other countries send only vacancies "which employers have flagged up as especially suitable for international candidates". | EURES is an agency of the EU set up to facilitate employment mobility among the member states.

| Apart from these considerations, the jobs data also show some peculiarities, in EURES's explanation, "because of trans-coding difficulties". The top 5 jobs per country, for instance, show "shoe-cleaning" as fifth most common for the UK, with the note that the data "should be treated with caution". | Apart from these considerations, the jobs data also show some peculiarities, in EURES's explanation, "because of trans-coding difficulties".
