According to a report by Switzerland's SRF, more than 44 percent of French citizens living near the Swiss border work in Geneva.
These figures are based on a report by the French Institute for Statistics and Demographic Studies.
About 85,000 workers travel to their jobs in Geneva every day from nearby French regions of Houte-Savoie and Ain.
These employees, called frontalis, prefer to work in Switzerland because they can earn up to twice the salary they would receive in France for the same job. The taxes are also lower in Switzerland than in France.
This poses a problem for French companies close to the border, as they cannot find personnel.
