Working in Sweden

Working abroad – destination Sweden

One of the most popular destination for job migration has recently been Sweden. There are currently many specialized agencies which can take all the formalities for you, such as http://www.paragona.com (they are working with medical staff). We took a closer look at this phenomenon to try to understand why is it so common to look for a new job exactly within the great Kingdom in the eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Here are some thoughts we were able to find out about it.

Life Conditions

It is a well-known fact, that the terms of existence in Sweden represent a very high level. In general, the unemployment rate is very low, and even though there is no minimum salary imposed by the government, the wage is usually on the more-than-enough level. It is being said that the costs of living are pretty high though and it is true – but only if you are a tourist. If you are starting to work there, for the most part you don’t have to worry about the prices.

Outdoors

People are getting more and more tired by living in the big cities. The smog, the noise and the crowd are not appropriate for long-term conditions of living. We are constantly trying to find some peace in the wilderness, but it is getting increasingly harder. Scandinavia however has still a lot of backcountry to offer. Even if you will be working in one of the biggest cities of Sweden (Stockholm, Gothernburg or Malmo) you may still enjoy great outdoor scenery just right outside the center.

Calm

It is just calmly in there… People are nice and because of the one of the highest GDP ratio it is a relatively safe place to live. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful neighborhood it might be just the place you are looking for.
