22 March 2023 at 07:05 Waiting for more unemployed Nav expects more unemployed by 2024, says Hans Christian Holte, director of Nav. Recent figures show that unemployment this year is the same as last year, but forecasts show that it will rise by 2024. – The times we live in now are characterized by quite a lot of uncertainty. We have the war in Ukraine and unrest in the financial markets, says Holte to news. – The labor market in many countries that have normally had a lot of labor immigration to Norway, have good labor markets in their home countries. So there are not that many people coming to Norway to fill the jobs, which creates challenges, says Holte.Nav expects an increase in unemployment in industries exposed to the economic cycle such as construction, restaurants and retail. While industries such as health and care, and oil and energy will need more people. – Many who are outside the labor market could be a great resource, says Holte.
