Abstract: Abstract The European Green Deal is based on the circular economy (CE) dealing with reducing, reusing, recycling, and redesigning all stages of materials in order to achieve sustainable development. However, research on the impact of CE on firm-level employment is lacking. Our paper uses the latest Eurobarometer Flash 498 survey and a negative binomial regression model (NBR) to explore CE approaches and green job creation of European firms. The results show that the adoption of the CE approaches and the use of more resources and capabilities are correlated significantly with employing workers in green jobs, and this correlation is positive. The results could help policymakers and businesses to make informed decisions about implementing CE strategies to promote sustainable growth and employment.
