There has been a fairly large increase in the number of jobseekers in Norway over the past week. In total, there are 194 fully unemployed, partially unemployed and jobseekers registered in Nav.
The sharp increase is mainly due to more layoffs as a result of stringent infection control measures. Regions with the highest growth include Oslo, Bergen and Viken. In the last week, an average of one new person registered with Nav as a jobseeker every minute, says director of Employment and Social Services Hans Christian Holte in a press release.

Oslo layoffs are increasing the most, with 2000 new ones. Oslo is followed by Viken and Vestland with 1200 and 600 layoffs respectively.
