yesterday came the news that the hotel chain Scandic nedbemanner. After the summer start the process that will provide 1000 fewer full-time employees in the Norwegian part of the Nordic region's largest hotel chain.

the travel industry is among the hardest hit by the corona-the pandemic, and yesterday's news is one of several signs that the crisis will manifest itself in ledighetstallene in a long time to come.

To now have the solution for many has been to lay off employees rather than to say them up. Of the 277 000 in the previous week were registered as job seekers, were well over the half laid off. The same image stand out in the tourism and transport, where two out of three unemployed are laid off.

In the short term provides permitteringsregelverket great flexibility, and is beneficial for both the employer, employee and the wider community.

But like everything else good, goods nor the benefits of permitteringer into eternity. In normal times apply the scheme in a half a year, before the company must either terminate the employee or take go back.

So long can't people wait to get back in the job, many have to find themselves other things to do. An extension of the permitteringsperioden now run the risk of only making matters worse in the labour market in the future.
