Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide
The Swedish government has established agencies such as Invest in Sweden
to assist foreign companies considering business operations in Sweden. These
organizations provide information including economic data, business contacts,
and other business support services. City chambers of commerce are also
important resources for job-seekers. The Konjunkturinstitutet (National
Institute of Economic Research) is a government organization with valuable
information on economic forecasting and business surveys.
Historically,
Swedish trade union movements have often been linked to the nation's political
parties, resulting in labor agreements internationally known as "the
Swedish model." There are two major trade union organizations in
Sweden, the LO and the TCO, representing over 3 million workers (82 percent
of the nation's labor force). The movement maintains a great amount of
political influence, and over Swedish society as a whole. The national
trade union organizations (LO and TCO) collaborate internationally through
secretariats with trade unions throughout the world.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
