The number of civil servants being laid off continues to increase in the private sector. But most of them find a new job, according to statistics from TRR.

Between April and June this year, 4,892 civil servants sought support from TRR. This is an increase of over 10 percent compared to the same period last year.

The toughest situation is within trade and sales, as well as the construction industry. Together, employees in these groups make up nearly a third of those who have sought support from TRR during the quarter.

But most of those who are laid off find a new job.

"Despite an unstable labor market, it's far from bleak for job-seeking civil servants. This year, 95 percent of those we support have found a new job, started their own business, or begun studying," says Johan Lagerhäll, CEO of TRR, in a press release.

Almost 70 percent have received a permanent employment contract and 19 percent received a temporary employment contract. And according to TRR, it took an average of just under six months to find new employment.

"Many companies are struggling and have been hard hit by the economic downturn. At the same time, we see that recruitment is taking place across the board, and the industry that has recruited the most civil servants during the second quarter is actually the construction industry," says Erica Sundberg, operational manager at TRR, in a press release.

TRR works on behalf of Svenskt Näringsliv and the Negotiation and Cooperation Council (PTK).
