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.
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
