Reportagem feita pela YLE em Dezembro de 2015:
"An article from the leading daily Helsingin Sanomat featured a reporter going “undercover” to apply for work. The idea was to establish what kind of work is on offer in Finland at present and how hard it is to get. Four employment offices were contacted and each supplied a list of positions that had been open at least three months: 365 jobs in all. The reporter called or sent an email to ask more about the work, and after the potential employer followed up and they discussed the opportunity thoroughly, the journalist revealed the true purpose of the inquiry.
The takeaway? There is definitely work out there to be had. After just three hours of active calling, the reporter had already secured an interview and a preliminary agreement about six different positions. Jobs immediately available involved work as a taxi driver, a cleaner, and selling ink cartridges for printers.
As a rule, the paper found that jobs that don’t fill quickly can be divided into four categories. The first class of vacancies require specific training, like nurses or cooks. The paper’s experiment found that there were plenty of opportunities available for cooks, and quite a few jobs for nurses and caregivers.
The second category requires setting up a small business to sell a certain product, while the third entails selling products for a commission. Some 55 percent of the job opportunities in the capital city Uusimaa region fell into these two categories, an unattractive option for many, in that it is impossible to estimate potential earnings.
The fourth category includes poorly-paid jobs, often part-time or temp positions. Several firms are looking for cleaners willing to work for approximately 10 euros an hour. There are also full-time cleaning positions available in home cleaning firms, for example. Cleaners working part-time can expect to earn less than 1000 euros a month, while a full-time salary runs at around 1,600 euros. This is less than half the average wage in Finland today. "
