Current facts, present potential
We are pleased to present the 2010 edition of Malmö Snapshot, a publication that provides a unique opportunity to study the trends and developments in some of the most important areas of the city.
This snapshot of Malmö shows a city with tremendous growth potential and many good reasons for establishing a company here. The city is ideally located, with an infrastructure that enables the entire world to reach Malmö by air or rail. The Öresund Bridge, which links Malmö with the continent, is celebrating its tenth birthday and when the Fehmarn Belt Bridge opens in 2018, the connection will be complete, providing enormous opportunities for the future.
When the City Tunnel opens at the end of the year, travel to and within the city will be even easier.
The new train stations will allow nearby areas to be developed and refined in a way that we can today hardly imagine – new neighborhoods will be created and existing ones expanded.
The new Triangeln station will be one of the three largest stations in Sweden, with a direct connection to downtown Copenhagen. We will live and act in one continuous metropolis, with new opportunities for venues and increased employment. In short, a great snapshot of a great location – with Copenhagen and Malmö-Lund as engines for future growth in the Öresund Region.
Pehr Andersson, Director, Trade and Industry Agency, City of Malmö

» After a couple of years with low unemployment, the number of unemployed rose to the level it was in 2006; open unemployment and the number of people in employment programs both increased, though the situation did not become as severe as it was between 2002 and 2005
» Due to the structure of trade and industry in Malmö, with a smaller percentage of the cyclically sensitive manufacturing industry, the unemployment rate did not take off until the second half of 2009
» Total unemployment in Malmö (open unemployment and people in programs with activity grants) in 2009 was an average of 7.2%, about 14,000 people

» 16,793 new vacancies were reported to the Public Employment Service in Malmö in 2009, down 34% compared with 2008
» Despite the decline, an average 46 new vacancies were reported every day throughout the year

Workforce and industry trends
Malmö is a city with a thriving economy, strong growth, and great confidence in the future.
Malmö’s journey from industrial city to knowledge city is fascinating. During the 1990s several industries were shut down, which reduced the size of the workforce. During the same period decisions were made to build the Öresund Bridge (opened 2000) and to establish Malmö University (founded 1998), two of the many initiatives that have contributed to Malmö’s major transformation.
» Malmö was the place of employment for a workforce of 151,137, the highest figure ever
» An increase of 1.4% against the previous year and 21% over a 10-year period
» Business services and education are the main areas that have increased over the past decade
