Break the silence about jobs! Raise your voice ahead of the 2026 election.

In Sweden, there is mass unemployment. But in the debate, we who are affected are invisible. This creates prejudice and leads to a policy where we job seekers are punished, even though the problems are systematic and beyond our control. With your help, we can correct the distorted image of the unemployed. Together, we can influence politics - today and on election day, September 9, 2026.

Being unemployed can feel lonely. Then it helps to write, but also to read other people's texts about unemployment. We are half a million Swedes who feel exactly like you. Share your story with us!

I think it's difficult to have prejudices about the unemployed, which are also present among relatives.

Cattis

Where is the idea of recycling when we lay people off?

These are people organizations employ and they have an identity that rests on a professional education and a sense of pride.

[...] a feeling of shame and exclusion and at the same time suspicion/knowledge that politics is not really doing anything for those who are unfortunate enough to end up outside.
