Luisa Nuka, analyst at Statistics Estonia, said that, year on year, the use of artificial intelligence grew 1.4 times among households and 1.5 times among enterprises. “This is probably related to the wider availability of AI-based tools and services and their integration into our daily lives. The use of AI increased the most in age group 65–74, where the share of users grew more than twice,” noted Nuka. There was also a notable rise in AI use among 35–44-year-olds. “The use of AI did not show such growth among young people, because the share of AI users was already high. Of all age groups

The total number of vacant and occupied posts in the second quarter was 590,408 – this is 0.9% less than in the same quarter of 2025.

Riin Kadarik, leading analyst at Statistics Estonia, said that, similarly to July, manufacturing output continued to grow in August, despite the decline in production volumes in the two largest manufacturing activities. “Output decreased by 0.6% in the manufacture of wood and by 3.8% in the manufacture of food products, which was mainly due to the decreased production of dairy products. The biggest contributor to the growth in manufacturing production was the manufacture of electrical equipment where output was up by 12.2% year on year, supported by increased production in the manufacture of

Helle Bunder, leading analyst at Statistics Estonia, explained that manufacturing output, which had shown growth for eight months, started to decrease slightly in September. “Although output increased in most larger manufacturing industries, there was a notable fall in production volumes in several medium-sized manufacturing activities. A more significant decrease occurred in the manufacture of shale oil (37.9%), machinery and equipment n.e.c. (22.2%) and beverages (21%),” she added. Bunder mentioned price cuts in September as one of the reasons for the decreased output of shale oil. “In the
