Many non Finnish people have been asking here how difficult it is to find work in Finland. This recent mini documentary is quite forward in telling why. Sorry that a part of the documentary is in Finnish but maybe you can find a translating extension, etc. to get subtitles. Enjoy.

Edit: documentary also shows the two faced politics, raciest politicians saying how we need to get the "Nordic standards" back and our prime Minister saying that we are not resist.

  1. Isn’t it same thing in other countries? People come and leave, if the environment/language/culture/weather/politics/grass is not suitable for them.

  2. To me this sounds like basic law of market. I’m a foreigner and I have lived here for almost 10 years. Unfortunately I never had the chance to get a permanent job (I alternated 1-2 years contract with short periods of unemployment). Now I have a 1-year contract, when it will come my time to be unemployed and not getting any job then I’ll leave. If there is no space for me in the job market of a country I’ll just leave the country. I don’t see nothing dramatic or crazy in this. The world is big, we should normalise moving where we are needed, especially for young people.

  3. It’s literally people who don’t speak a word of finnish nor do embrace any finnish lifestyle or culture expecting the country to integrate to them

  4. Good for them as a poor finnish person I dont even have the money or connections to leave the country.

  5. Good for you for having the option to leave. As a native I cant find work. You would think finding simple kitchen assistant position would be easy but no.

  7. Poor job market, low salaries and awful purchasing power definitely aren’t helping the situation. Climate and culture suck most of the year. Even many of my native colleagues are considering moving out of Finland for those reasons.

    It’s just open market, people choose countries that offer best conditions and prospects. Finland hasn’t done well in this regard especially for high-skilled workers.
