While Swedish unemployment figures have seen a slight decline on average, there still remains a massive discrepancy between the unemployment rate of native Swedes and those born overseas.
“Heavily migrant populated southern Swedish city of Malmö has an average unemployment rate twice that of the rest of the country.” Despite the financial strain on Sweden, its government is calling “for even more immigration,” as Sweden continues to be plagued with war-like no-go-zones. 70 percent of the jihad fighters who left Sweden to join the Islamic State came from these no-go zones. Last year, Sweden’s largest shopping center was turned into a no-go zone. No-go zones also come with sharia patrols.

“Swedish Unemployment Figures Reveal Extent of Migrant Joblessness,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 16, 2018:
While Swedish unemployment figures have seen a slight decline on average, there still remains a massive discrepancy between the unemployment rate of native Swedes and those born overseas.
The new figures, released by the Swedish Public Employment Service, show that unemployment across the country has gone down from 7.3 percent last year to 6.9 percent.
For native Swedes the unemployment rate has declined from 3.9 to 3.6 percent, which if taken alone would give native Swedes one of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union, tied with Hungary and only being beaten by Germany and the Czech Republic according to Eurostat figures from June of this year.

While the migrant crisis saw well over a hundred thousand asylum seekers flood into Sweden during and after 2015, many have complained that the new arrivals lack the proper skills to enter the Swedish labour force.
