First out was a two side article about 17 of may (national day in Norway) and Sverige-Norge.se. It was printed in the newspaper but you can read a copy of the article on Sverige-Norge.se website.
Then the online magazine, DI.se, did another interview about the differences between Norway and Sweden concerning salaries.
Just a few minutes ago www.Sverige-Norge.se reached 24.000 members, which means we now have 24000 swedish people looking for work in Norway. So do you know any Norwegian company that are expaning. Give me a hint.
Recently Shortcut announced a list of 100 new and inspiring young entrepreneurs in Sweden. The list was fun to read in many aspects, Christian Josefsson with our company Sverige-Norge.se and 24 other people from Young Entrepreneurs of Sweden was mentioned. The worthy winner was Daniel Ek, founder of Spotify, closely followed by the members of YEoS

- Svenskene som drar til Norge for å arbeide har en helt annen arbeidsmoral og holdning til arbeid enn andre svensker, sier Viktor Nord i Sverige-Norge.se til HegnarOnline.

En skulle tro at arbeidsmarkedet i Norge ser mørkt ut. Men sammenlignet med andre land og særlig Sverige, er arbeidsmarkedet i Norge fortsatt veldig lyst. Det finnes nok av jobber i visse næringer. Et meget interessant aspekt på det hele er hvordan den svensk-innvandringen til Norge har økt.
- Svenskene som drar til Norge for å arbeide tilhører en bestemt gruppe arbeidstakere. De har en helt annen arbeidsmoral og holdning til arbeid enn andre svensker. Mange drar for å forfølge karrierer og ønsker derfor å utmerke seg på arbeid ved å jobbe hardt. Selvfølgelig spiller de høye lønningene, lave skatter og det faktum at det faktisk finnes jobber en stor rolle også. Det er større sannsynlighet for at de får beholde jobben sin, sier administrerende direktør Viktor Nord i Sverige-Norge.se, som kobler sammen svensk arbeidskraft med norske arbeidsgivere.
- Situasjonen kunne vært helt annerledes hvis Sverige hadde hatt en lav arbeidsledighet, høyere lønninger og lavere skatt enn Norge. Da hadde de dyktige nordmennene i stedet dratt til Sverige for å forfølge en karriere i stedet, sier Nord til HegnarOnline.
Ifølge Nord har antallet svensker som bor og arbeider i Norge mer enn fordoblet seg i løpet av de siste 10 årene; fra 33.000 til nesten 76.000. Hvis du ser på Oslo, hvor det er mest svensker, var der tidlig på 90-tallet drøye 3.000 svensker, mens det nå i 2009 finnes nærmere 11.000, de fleste i bydelen Frogner.
- Av de norske arbeidsgiverne som vi hjelper til å finne personell for, har vi bare fått positive tilbakemeldinger når det gjelder den svenske arbeidskraften, sier Nord.

Today Viktor Nord and Christian Josefsson got an article published from “Svenkst Näringsliv” about the jobmarket in Sweden and Norway. Unfortunately this article is written in Swedish.
A couple of weeks ago I got nominated for best young entrepreneur in Sweden (west side). This was really flattering but my expectations was small. I was up against more promosing and much better entrepreneurs such as Eric Martinsson & Therese Albrechtson. Against my expectations I won that nomination and now I’m one of the finalists in the national event in Stockholm. They recorded a video of me. Unfortunately the video is in Swedish but you’re welcome to have a look anyway even though you don’t understand. Just click on the picture below:
Video teaser – Entrepreneur Gala 2009
Vote for the best Young Entrepreneur 2009 HERE.
The winner of this award will be presented at the Entrepreneur Gala in Stockholm the 24th of September 2009. The elite of the Swedish entrepreneurs are there and the event is stunning. If you cast a vote on any of the competitors you have the oppertunity to win free tickets. I would really appreciate that you cast your vote on the most promising entrepreneur and not just on me if you personally know me. Honestly I think I don’t have a chance against the other competitors. What do you think?
My competitors Marcus, Mattias and Ida are all three very successful entrepreneurs and they all deserve to win this competition. Unfortunately I don’t know them personally yet, but I hope I will meet them in Stockholm the 24th of September when the winner is named.
Marcus Anzengruber, founder of Constant
Mattias Tyrberg, founder of Saplo
Ida Backlund, founder of Rapunzel

We launched our new system and user interface 17 may 2008 (Norways national day). After exactly one year we drew a line and made some statistics. Some really interesting things came up. Over 15.000 CV’s were registered which not may sound so much compared with 2 million Facebook users. But if you put 15.000 CV’s compared with Swedens biggest CV-database (AMS – arbetsförmedlingen) who only has around 5000 CV’s you get the picture. In one year we’ve got more than three times the size of theirs database. That’s quite good isn’t it?
According to our statistics over 1500 people got a job in Norway thanks to our site during year 2008. The comparison was made between Swedish people who wants to work in Norway, not the total amount of CV’s in the database.
