These are about a hundred new jobs in the Municipality of Åmål and the target group for these development jobs are people who are unemployed and dependent on financial assistance and receive no compensation from an unemployment fund.

Financial aid

The age group is 20 to 65 years and the work is timed to one year. The purpose is to create the conditions for their own livelihood and reduce the proportion of residents in Åmål who depend on financial assistance.

- The job should serve as a career path to other work or studies. These people will serve as a reinforcement to those who already have a job, says Jan Andersson, communicator at Åmål Municipality to SVT Nyheter Väst.

According to him, it may be about jobs in health care, school and care, but it is not yet nailed what it will be.

- There will be contractual salaries and this will start in September 2020.
