Monitoring of Unemployed Foreign Jobseekers

What does the report include?

Published by the KEHA Centre, the digital report enables nationwide and regional (by ELY Centre) monitoring of unemployment trends and participation in employment promotion services among unemployed foreign jobseekers. The report provides key figures on the number of unemployed foreign jobseekers and changes over time, as well as on activation rates and participation in services included in the activation rate.

The data can be filtered by age, citizenship, and ELY Centre. Most of the information is based on register data from the Employment Service Statistics.

The report is updated monthly after the publication of the KEHA Centre’s Employment Bulletin. The publication dates of the Employment Bulletin are available on the Job Market Finland.

This report replaces the monthly Employment Bulletin on the employment among foreign citizens and foreign-language speakers previously published by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment.
