The Swedish economy was recently described by a Swede in the newspaper, as worse compared to other countries in the  European Union. I have a temporary employment as a communications manager. However, there are few jobs in this field to apply for. Many smart people want to work within communication. The competition is fierce, and they get frustrated.
