New jobs created in the tech sector
The pervasive digitalization taking place both in Sweden and globally has made the tech sector one of the main drivers of employment and economic growth - 6 out of 10 new jobs created in Sweden between 2010 and 2016 were in the sector.
In December 2020, IT&Telekomföretagen presented IT Skills Shortage - a report on the Swedish tech sector's need for cutting-edge skills. The report states that the industry risks a shortage of 70,000 people by 2024 if strong measures are not taken.
