Questo May ha segnato una pietra miliare desolante: il Sedeeker medio finlandese era stato disoccupato per 70 settimane-la cifra più alta nei registri nazionali che risale al 2007. Il divario di età è anche severo: 20-24 anni erano disoccupati per una media di 34 settimane, mentre quelle di età compresa tra 60 e 64 ricerche di lavoro a faccia in più per 100 settimane.
Inoltre, il numero di persone disoccupate per oltre due anni è ora al massimo di otto anni. Anche la quota di persone senza lavoro per più di cinque anni ha raggiunto un livello record.
"Il rapporto tra aperture di lavoro e persone in cerca di lavoro è il più basso dalla crisi finanziaria. La situazione ricorda gli anni della crisi post-euro," ANTTI Ilvonen, analista senior della Danske Bank, afferma.
"In questo momento, il problema non è la mancanza di volontà di lavorare. Il problema è quello Non ci sono lavori."

Three of my good friends are jobless at the moment and been jobless for more than a year. One is native, two are foreigners with good command of Finnish. All had from 7 to 10 years of experience in the engineering, IT and business fields. Job market is crazy at the moment.
You know time’s are tough when even those with advanced degree’s struggle gaining employment whatsoever, it really does feel like the social contract of working hard and obtaining a degree with a good chance to gain meaningful employment has completely diminished (hopefully temporarily). As someone approaching 30 when I first went to university the common wisdom then was as long as you study a degree leading to a defined role or something such as STEM then you were almost guaranteed good employment. Before that I think that getting any type of degree was enough for good employment and before that just walking in and asking for a job seemed like it was enough. Although maybe getting a job back then wasn’t as easy as some people say and most of what I said is anecdotal what do people do now to gain employment? sure there are trades and vocations (e.g nursing) but gaining a white collar job seems almost impossible right now.
I can’t imagine to think in another 5-10 years. What is the solution here? They mention there just aren’t enough jobs available and Finland is not really promoting people opening business with so many risks and high taxes.
Is the end goal that half the population just lives on UBI?
I’m about to quit my shit job and go back to school. Then I’ll probably join ya’ll.
I expect brain drain to increase. I’ve also been looking for jobs abroad, despite having one in Finland. I’m a lawyer.
Tbh I don’t trust that there wouldn’t be another round of firing people to save money at my workplace. Previous one didn’t affect me, but who knows how the next one would turn out. There are more and more savings being made.
