- Increasing labour shortage
-
Employment in Sweden is set to rise with 149,000 people in total this year and the next. Unemployment among native born Swedes is at its lowest level since the 2008 finance crisis. This year unemployment is set to fall from 7 percent to 6.6 percent, but it will probably rise somewhat next year. The reason is that more foreign born people register as job seekers, and many of them are far removed from the labour market.
Meanwhile, prognosis from the employment service shows eight in ten new jobs go to people born abroad, and that the employment figure is rising with two percentage points.
“This is very good news when so many newly arrived are entering the labour market,” according to the employment service’s Director-General Mikael Sjöberg.
