We have about 2% unemployed people compared to the entire Dutch population, but in some fields like healthcare, accountants, restaurants/cafe’s, etc. It is really hard to find people. It’s so bad that they are gonna make it easier to get your title for accountants.
I don’t mean this to sound crass but 2% unemployment sounds lovely. The United States is normally around 9 to 12% unemployment.
You’re right we definitely do have more open positions and a lot of those jobs, But ultimately I think it kind of washes out by the fact that everything here is so expensive and that unless you’re paid extremely well in your field it’s really hard to make it.
Anyway this has been really interesting hearing about some of the issues going on in the netherlands. I have some research to do. Your government tends to be a lot better at governing in mind so I’ll be interested to hear what the solution that y’all come up with.
The issue is that we have more open positions than people looking for work, it is almost even based om the last ststistics so that’s good, but it means companies have to say no to people. Or the wait is pretty long
The US seems to have the opposite issue (I got downvotes a ton on Reddit when I said finding a job these days is easy). A lot of people can’t find a job, probably because all the companies that went bankrupt during Covid. In countries like NL where we saved the companies we have the opposite issue.
The Netherlands is fair from perfect, but all with all it is going pretty well I have to say…
At least in The Netherlands we have issues finding new employees in different businesses. It’s going down a bit, but we have 101 open positions for every 100 people without work. https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/visualisaties/dashboard-arbeidsmarkt
