Description

The Swedish Public Employment Service announced on 3 November 2010 it will dismiss 800 job coaches on fixed term contracts at the beginning of 2011. Recent calculations have shown the Swedish unemployment rate will be much lower in the near future than previously estimated; as a result, the contracts of the job coaches will not be renewed as planned.
