Sweden's unemployment rate has risen to 9.3 percent, prompting Social Democrats Mikael Damberg and Ardalan Shekarabi to seek emergency talks with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Damberg criticized the government's inaction since pandemic efforts and called the crisis a "new nightmare level," while proposing urgent labor market reforms including rapid job training for youth. Economists from Länsförsäkringar reported a complex job market with rising unemployment but stable overall employment, and Tomas Eriksson noted unemployment benefits increased by 14 percent but at a slower pace than before.
