Swedish migration minister Morgan Johansson now says that Sweden can no longer guarantee housing for refugees [1][2].<p>This is a new development as the previous official line has been that the situation is strained but under control.<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/politik/morgan-johansson-gransen-for-sverige-ar-nadd/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dn.se/nyheter/politik/morgan-johansson-gransen-fo...</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://www.gp.se/nyheter/sverige/1.2887462-minister-boenden-for-flyktingar-slut" rel="nofollow">http://www.gp.se/nyheter/sverige/1.2887462-minister-boenden-...</a><p>edit:spelling
Honest question: does 1 job taken by an immigrant equal 1 job lost by a local? How else is it?<p>I was a migrant worker myself, and while I'm grateful for the opportunity to work for a higher salary than I could get home, I still believe that the open work policies are bad for both sides - developing nations get a huge brain drain and a slower internal development, while developed countries get a lot of cheap workers and have unemployment problems with their own citizens...
"It’s as if North Carolina, which has about the same population as Sweden, sprouted a new city the size of Raleigh in three years."<p>A meaningless sentence to anyone outside the States. Can someone write to Bloomberg and tell them how the Internet works?
nice read, the fact that no swedish publication can write anything without racist views beeing applied makes me sad.<p>the last paragraph @Some recent arrivals, especially those from Syria, are educated and may find jobs relatively quickly. Rama Yousef, a university graduate who came in 2013 with her family, spent five months in a government-paid intensive Swedish course, then enrolled in a program at Stockholm University that helps highly qualified immigrants find jobs. She now works in the Stockholm office of consulting group Capgemini. “The Swedish people have done a lot for me,” she says.<p>Is something youd never read in a swedish newpaper, or atleast thats how i interpret our news.
All you read is how ungreatfull people are for any help they get. Guess it's easier to sell newspapers to idiots if you write abous idiots acting like idiots.
Current submission title: "Sweden is Out of Housing for Refugees"<p>Current article title: "Sweden Feels the Refugee Strain"<p>The word "housing" doesn't seem to appear anywhere in the article.<p>I think the current article title better reflects the content of the story.
"Sweden can no longer guarantee accommodation to everyone who comes. Those who are arriving could be met with the news that there isn't anywhere to stay." <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/sweden-apply-emergency-eu-aid-meet-asylum-crisis-113453449--business.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.yahoo.com/sweden-apply-emergency-eu-aid-meet-asy...</a>
