    Wage increases were higher than inflation in April, which means that so-called real wages are rising, according to the Mediation Institute’s calculations.

    Centrally agreed wages in the entire economy increased by 3.6 percent in April. But overall, wages in Sweden are estimated to have increased by 4.2 percent in April compared to the same month last year.

    If you exclude the increase in consumer prices excluding mortgage interest – that is, CPIF inflation – of 2.3 percent in April, this means a lift for the real wage of 1.9 percent.

    “Even if you take into account that interest rates were higher than a year ago, the real wage rose by 0.3 percent in April,” says Petter Hällberg, macroeconomist at Medlingsinstitutet.

    Hello Sven-O!

    This is how SMHI defines torrential rain:

    “Very heavy rain that falls over a period of a few hours. This can have major consequences in society in a short time.”

    Have a nice day, don’t forget your umbrella!

    Hi Niklas! If we were to write about all the power outages in the whole country, there would be a lot, especially when it is usually very local. We are a nationwide newspaper as you mention, but that also means that we cannot write about everything in every locality.

  • In your top news right now, it says that a top broker is convicted of financial crimes, long prison sentences, but no names.

    In the next news regarding murder and rape or for that matter if it is gang-related, you write out the name and post a picture of the perpetrators. what makes the difference? it’s still the case that there are people who are sentenced to rather long sentences, I don’t see the difference, criminal as criminal!
