308,433 Greek pensioners had declared employment by August 2026, with 348,206 total filings showing some retirees hold more than one job.
The jump marks a sharp shift from before 2023, when declared working pensioners were estimated at just 25,000 to 30,000, reshaping both the labor market and social security finances.
138,381 retirees — 45% of the total — reported working as farmers, making agriculture the largest category among employed pensioners.
96,868 pensioners said they still work as employees, while 75,045 declared freelance or other self-employed activity, underscoring how broadly the trend now spans the economy.
