Arbetsförmedlingen – forecasts
and methodology
● Interview questions include:
o Demand for goods and services
o Capacity utilization
o Number of employees
o Recruitment needs

Arbetsförmedlingen – forecasts and
methodology
● The employer survey is conducted by employment officers throughout the country
● Interview results are supplemented with statistics and materials from other sources, such as:
o Economic indicators
o Industry specific indicators
o Statistical trends (LFS and PES data)
● The Department of Analysis evaluates the results and forecasts:
o Employment in different regions and in
different industries.
o Unemployment in different regions and
for different groups.
● Which challenges arise and which actions are needed to counteract the challenges?
Still a strong labour market in Sweden
● The Swedish labour market is still strong
o Employment is expected to increase by 120 000 in 2019-2020
● Most new jobs go to foreign born
o Two out of three new jobs go to a foreign-born individuals
● Labour shortages among private employers and in the public sector
Occupational forecasts
- Job opportunities for 200 occupations
Occupational forecasts (short term)
● The short term forecasts involve the whole PES organization
● Employment officers make assessments for occupations on the local labour market
● They do so…
o by conducting interviews with 13 000 workplaces (private and public)
o by gathering information from their daily work
● They make assessments of the labour shortage by occupation on a scale between 1 to 5
● All local assessments are weighted according to the number of employees on the local labour market creating a nationwide labour shortage index
● The labour shortage index is estimated at a national, regional and local level
Occupational forecasts (long term)
● Model based national forecasts
● The starting point of the projections are the short term forecasts
● We use variables such as:
- unemployment per occupation
- vacancies per occupation
- number of employed per occupation
- demographic changes
● Both the short and long term forecasts are conducted for 200 occupations
Occupational forecasts – two different formats
● Occupational compass
o Job opportunities for almost 200
occupations
o Short and long term
● Where are the jobs?
o The change in employment for
different sectors
o Job opportunities for different
occupations
o Highlights challenges
● Basis for choice and guidance
o Career choices
o What to study
● Also important for other types of analysis
