The labour minister of Sweden declared on July 3, 2024, that there is an immediate demand for foreign labourers in the fields of healthcare, education, security, and equipment repair. A survey by the European Labour Authority identified 20 occupations that are experiencing a shortage, such as security guards, teachers, doctors, engineers, and bus drivers. Foreign workers now have more options in a variety of fields, including nursing, dentistry, psychology, mechanics, systems analysis, law enforcement, and water treatment operations. These shortfalls point to a high need for foreign nationals with the necessary skills to fill pivotal roles that will support the smooth operation of vital services and advance the Swedish economy as a whole.
