According to the government prioritizes the Western front of the Oslo – TV 2

to get more people in work will the city council in Oslo suggest to use 10 million extra on tiltaksplasser next year.

we do this because we need to get done something that so many are outside the labour market. People need a job, then we solve many problems at the same time, ” says commissioner for industry and ownership, Geir Lippestad (Ap).

Yesterday Raymond Johansen believes there is anything Oslo has to do because the government has given priority to the unemployment on the west coast in front of the unemployment in the capital.

– They have at least not had the focus that we have just as much unemployment in the districts in Oslo that we have on the west coast. We can turn fast, says Johansen to the TV 2 News.

High unemployment

the Labour party draws up ledighetstallene in the Søndre Nordstrand (4,8%), Old Oslo (4,2%), Alna and Stovner (both 4,1%) as examples of that unemployment is not a problem exclusively on the west coast.

– We also need support from the government. Districts with equally high ledighetstall as municipalities on the west coast is a serious social problem, believes that Johansen.

the city Council, writes in a note that it cannot be so that someone who has lost their job in the renholdsbransjen and lives in Oslo east is worth less than one who has lost his job in the oil industry and lives in Stavanger.

– do Not track in your own city

the ministry of Labour and sosialminister Anniken Hauglie (H) denies that the government only prioritizes the unemployed on the west coast and ignoring the problems in the rest of the country. She believes Raymond Johansen impossible may have put themselves firmly into the unemployment rate.

It is obvious that Raymond Johansen does not have a good overview of the situation in Oslo, and how the reality is now when it comes to the unemployment rate, ” says Hauglie.

Hauglie refers to the nav’s figures for august, where it is stated that unemployment in Oslo has fallen in the last year, that 12 of the 15 districts in the capital are experiencing a decline in the unemployment rate and that there is also a decline in the Raymond Johansen mentions as examples.

Use tools

Hauglie don’t think it needs any extra stimulus package for Oslo now.

” We have strengthened the number of tiltaksplasser, we have several social policy initiatives and we have strengthened the finances of the municipality significantly. This also comes from the municipality of Oslo owed, so it is only for Raymond Johansen to take in use the tools located there, ” says arbeidsministeren.

But Raymond Johansen believes the capital city has very large challenges.

the Needs are huge so we need simply money to targeted measures, ranging from language instruction to low-threshold, ” says Johansen.
