Swedish premier pledges 5,000 'emergency' jobs


Under the government proposal, 5,000 emergency jobs will be created by government bodies by 2020.
Contingency jobs will be paid the going rate under collective agreements. The jobs will extend over a maximum of two years.
"This is obviously not the whole solution, but it is part of the solution," Löfven concluded.
Sweden took in a record 160,000 asylum seekers in 2015 before introducing ID checks to stem the flow. 
The influx put the country’s finances and housing under strain and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven faced a hearing at the parliamentary constitutional committee on Friday morning to answer questions about Sweden’s handling of the crisis.
