This small European town needs new workers: pays up to 26 euros per hour and offers accommodation and travel

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 16:00

The small European city mentioned in the article is at the extreme north of Sweden and has just under 17 thousand inhabitants. The city is currently facing an urgent need for new workers and is actively looking for people willing to move there.

As a way to attract new residents, the city offers a competitive salary that can reach 26 euros per hour. In addition to the attractive remuneration, additional benefits are also made available to workers, including accommodation and travel support.

This initiative comes at a time when many remote regions of Europe face demographic challenges, with populations aging and declining, and where there is a growing need for labor in essential sectors. The Swedish city thus hopes to attract professionals from other regions or countries who are willing to settle in an area with lower population density.

Why this matters

For readers in Portugal, this type of offer can represent a concrete opportunity for emigration for qualified work with attractive conditions, in a context where many Portuguese people seek opportunities abroad. The initiative follows similar trends in other Scandinavian regions that face a lack of workers in essential sectors.

Study points out gaps about the sea in tourism education in Portugal

A European study from the Code BLUE project reveals that Portugal is among five countries where skills related to sustainable blue economy are only partially integrated into tourism education, alongside Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and Spain. The research, with KIPT CoLAB as the Portuguese partner, identified gaps in marine ecosystem training, climate change adaptation, coastal zone governance, practical skills for sustainable tourism, and digital tools. The study proposes integrating short and flexible modules into existing courses, rather than creating new courses, using frameworks such as BlueComp, GreenComp, and DigComp to develop micro-credentials. The results were validated at national meetings bringing together education, businesses, and public institutions, and the next phase aims to transform these conclusions into practical learning content to support sustainable tourism in European coastal regions.
