This summer, many chose a home holiday in the mountains.
The winter season is also expected to break records.

- Yes, we prepare for many guests, says Anders Backskog at the hotel in Klövsjö.
We need about 30 this season.
We do not understaff.
Fewer jobs at the Swedish Public Employment Service
That many seasonal workers have chosen to contact the employers on their own is noticeable at the Swedish Public Employment Service.
There are over 30 percent fewer outsourced jobs in the mountains compared to last year.
- It is good if the market works without the Swedish Public Employment Service having to act, says Ola Kereby who is head of the Swedish Public Employment Service in the county.
The downside is that those who are far from the labor market find it more difficult to get in.
Terminated want to the mountains
One group that seeks direct contact with employers is restaurant and hotel employees in cities that have been laid off due to the pandemic.
- They do exactly as we encourage them to do - look for where the jobs are, says Ola Kereby.
Special agreements
This season may mean more precarious employment
- It is stated in the agreements that there may be redundancies if the situation changes, says Anders Backskog.
