I have reached this subreddit because a while back (~4-5 weeks ago) reddit ads where telling me to “Hire Helsinki as my new city”, basically to move there because there are a lot of employment opportunities and that it is a growing city. Link to the website: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/hire-helsinki-meta/
So I was considering to emigrate in a nordic country, Norway I liked , seemed like a nice country to live in, my friends are enjoying it so far (4 years since they moved) but I was thinking to go a slightly different route and give Helsinki a go, thinking it might not differ a lot.
So I’ve started to read about it here and it looks like things are actually not that great and the public opinion is that it is not getting better soon.
But coming back to my actual question, how come there’s a campaign to bring emigrants in Helsinki when locals complain about unemployment?
is unemployment mostly for unskilled workers? is that what is actually happening? what am I missing?

The people who post those ads don’t care about the actual situation, they just get their money. 💰 💴 💵
There might be work for some highly skilled workers, but basic jobs? No. We have an overly saturated job market as it is, as Finns themselves are quite educated in general and the unemployment is at 10.6% as of recent.
