Nav has no belief in an imminent recovery. According to knowledge director Yngvar Åsholt the number of unemployed is likely to rise to over 92,000 next year.
– We are in a period now where labor gradually deteriorates. It is largely due to the oil sector and what has happened there. We expect the labor market will continue to deteriorate gradually over the year and next year, he says to NRK.
Large demand
The development means that more and more Norwegians contact Nav to get help finding a job.
In all, registered about 1,000 new job seekers with Nav each working day in July. It includes unemployed, partially unemployed, job seekers on measures and other job seekers.
Not since the financial crisis, the supply of new jobseekers been as great as now.
The oil industry is suffering
People from the ICT industry, engineers and industrial workers have had the greatest increase in the number of new unemployed.
2000 several industrial workers have lost their jobs over the past year, which is an increase of 22 percent. 2500 more from ICT and engineering are registered as unemployed. And it is particularly those who have worked in the oil industry which is now without work.
However, although unemployment for this group is increasing sharply, the total unemployment rate for engineers and IT workers still far below the national average.
