Labour demand in trade increases – Swedish Radio

The unemployment rate in July remained at about the same level as the month before – just under eight percent. It shows the seasonally adjusted figures from Statistics Sweden presented today. But the number of employed has still increased. Sandra Otter Farm looking for a job in a shop.

I have previously worked in an office and I have been helped with coaching now Then in May and figured out what I want to do and then it’s store job I’ve decided that I want to do, says Sandra Otter Farm.

Sandra Otter Farm has been unemployed since last May, but has an interview for a retail job tomorrow. Demand for labor just in trade increased by over 50 percent in the second quarter of this year compared with the same period last year.

But unemployment is still at large remained at about 8 percent. Ibrahim, who did not want to give his last name, has applied for 47 jobs this month.

Unfortunately, no response, nothing. Far outside Stockholm, Jönköping, for example. Everywhere. It is terrible that no one could help. What has happened? Without a job as life, no life really. What should I do? Will work from morning to evening, is there anyone in this world who can help? Says Ibrahim.

But employment increases anyway , 77 000 new jobs compared with July last year. But so does the number of people who want a job. Many elderly people, for example, continued to work even though they have passed retirement age. Sandra Otter Farm has noticed the competition even though she is seeking a job in an industry that is growing.

You notice that it’s all ages and gender, you are certainly not alone as they compete With so many on so many different levels. I like the young also compete with those who are older so you have to find their niche. What is it I can come up with that makes someone becomes interested in me? So it is a bit difficult, says Sandra Otter Farm.
