– There will obviously create some discussion that unemployment does not go down faster. But there are many who turn to the labor market, and it is good, he said.
Foreign-born is for almost all employment growth, as the number of home born aged between 16 and 64 years continues to decline.
But among the unemployed, the proportion of people who are far from the labor market, for example, that they lack upper secondary education. Among them are many immigrants.
– We need a substantial net immigration to maintain employment and meet welfare. Since we need invested heavily in education in the coming years to the equation must go together, says Sjöberg.
Optimism has increased of both private and public employers compared to autumn 2014. The downward trend for manufacturing jobs is about to turn, but it is the service sector that attracts job growth.
But employers get more difficult to find the right staff, and it is especially the public service sector, in both school and health care.
– We need investment in education, but we also need to work with the system for the identification and validation. There’s foreign nurses, doctors and teachers in Sweden. It is also a signal that we need a continued immigration.
Mikael Sjöberg think that both employers and politicians may have to think again about the focus the languages that exist in society. Language is important, but not all, he points out.
– Our research shows that companies that have succeeded in this area do not prioritize language, but other skills. Swedish you learn on the job, they argue, says Mikael Sjöberg.
