In Switzerland it seems to be mostly the German-speaking parts, since it excludes Geneva and Ticino from what I can see on the map.

It's generally better to use employment figures, since they can't be manipulated to the same extent. It has other problems though, of course.

Switzerland uses migrants to absorb shocks, basically.

Lewis, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Of course, all employment rates should be re-calculated to full-time equivalents. I guess average hours worked would be even better.
