Locals dress up for &#8220;L\u2019Escalade&#8221; and chant historical tunes in a carnivalesque atmosphere. The festivities are an ode to the legendary battle that ended in the city\u2019s victory over the Savoyards \u2014 the population that still inhabits the neighboring French region \u2014 back in 1602. The day\u2019s atmosphere is light, but its symbolism continues to haunt the 220,000 people who cross the border from France to Switzerland every day for work \u2014 a number that has been steadily rising for the past two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block--sidebar bg-adp-navy alignright\"><div class=\"block--sidebar__inner\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The France\u2013Switzerland border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-883f2098704c38ebef72ffe3d27e4826\"><strong>Length of border: <\/strong>572 km<strong><br>Daily crossings: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/countries\/france\/en\/home\/switzerland-and\/bilateral-relations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">220,000+<\/a><strong> <br>Busiest crossing point: <\/strong>Geneva<strong><br>Total bilateral trade: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/eda\/en\/fdfa\/representations-and-travel-advice\/france\/switzerland-france.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$42 billion<\/a> (2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large no-margin\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1-switzerland-france-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Emilie Deseneux, a 41-year-old audiologist, joined the masses of routine commuters in September 2023. Four days a week, she drives&nbsp;40 minutes from the picturesque mountain town of&nbsp; Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny to bustling Geneva with her husband, who works at the same company. They leave their car in Champel, a quiet neighborhood with sufficient parking, before catching a bus, then a tram, to their office. \u201cWhen there are traffic jams, it can take up to two hours to get to work, which can be extremely irritating,\u201d Deseneux says. \u201cThankfully, that doesn\u2019t happen too often.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many French professionals&nbsp;in the lakeside city\u2019s busy market, the mother of four crosses the border for both financial and logistical gain: \u201cThe pay is better. In Annemasse [France], where my previous job was, I was working full-time. In Geneva I work a day less for an additional 1800 euros a month,\u201d she says. \u201cI was also tired of the paperwork that my job entailed in France. For a single pair of hearing aids, an audiologist has up to three hours of administrative tasks. In Switzerland, customers pay and get reimbursed by insurance later on. I can finally dedicate 100% of my time to my clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speedy hire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, Geneva was not part of Deseneux\u2019s plan. \u201cThe Genevois are a bit wary of foreign employees, who are regarded as job thieves. Less than a year ago, I didn\u2019t have much hope when I decided to look for a position here. I had been told that the market was highly competitive, especially for workers who don\u2019t have a state-issued diploma. I sent my application to about&nbsp;20 companies. Surprisingly, the process was extremely speedy. I was hired a week after my first interview.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross-border employment continues to make headlines in Geneva\u2019s local news. A new legal adjustment designed to regulate taxation for cross-border workers was recently enforced, following heated political debates during the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> I can finally dedicate 100% of my time to my clients.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Deseneux\u2019s wages are considered standard in Geneva, given her academic credentials and career experience. \u201cI\u2019m more than satisfied,\u201d she says. \u201cComing to Geneva has allowed me to have more time for my four children. More importantly, I can pay for my 18- and 20-year-old\u2019s education. In September, one will move to Paris and the other one will go to Lyon. We have to fund their schools, apartments, transportation and food for a few years. We also like to treat ourselves to little things from time to time, like restaurants or family outings. We travel to a beach destination for a week each year. We don\u2019t live a lavish lifestyle, but we are comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High living costs and civil unrest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross-border situations come with challenges, nonetheless. \u201cWe split our payments between two countries,\u201d Deseneux says. \u201cAnd though we live in France, our rent, food, and car insurance are more expensive than elsewhere in the country, due to the proximity to Geneva. I also have less job security in my current contract, as it is easy to lay off an employee in Switzerland. It\u2019s contrary to France, where an employer has to have a solid motive to let someone go.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, she and her husband are hoping to eventually relocate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn two or three years, my husband and I would like to settle in Switzerland,\u201d Deseneux says. \u201cFurther down the line, we hope to open up our own hearing aid shop. Switzerland is so much more orderly. All you have to do is look at the streets to realize how much cleaner and better it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-50x38.jpg 50w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Emilie-Deseneux-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"block--author\">      <div class=\"block-author__inner\">\n        <div class=\"author--image\">\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/author\/sarah-zeines\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sarahzeines-298x305.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n        <div class=\"author--info\">\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/author\/sarah-zeines\/\" class=\"author--name\">Sarah Zeines<\/a>\n\n          \n          <p>Sarah Zeines is a Geneva-based, American-born journalist.
