Helping Stockholmers Find Work and Independence

The City of Stockholm has updated its guidelines for "Stockholmsjobb," temporary employment for individuals distant from the regular labor market, effective 2026. These revisions aim to help residents overcome long-term unemployment, gain experience and skills, and move from welfare to self-sufficiency. The new guidelines clarify the Labor Market Committee's overall responsibility and set frameworks, such as a maximum 24-month duration and a salary compliant with collective agreements.
