Unemployed more likely to find flexible than permanent job

Slightly fewer employees became unemployed in the third quarter of 2011 than in the same quarter last year. On the other hand, fewer unemployed people found a job. Those who did were more likely to find a job with a flexible than with a permanent contract.
Fewer flexible employees unemployed
Of employees with a flexible employment contract in the second quarter of 2011, 4.5 percent were unemployed three months later. Two years ago, during the economic crisis, this percentage was 5.4. The percentage of employees with a permanent job who became unemployed was slightly lower than two years ago.

Kirsten Jansen - van den Broek Undutchables

We have worked with Together Abroad as advertisers since their inception in 2009.

During this time, we have found them to be very responsive to our needs and very pleasant people to work with.


I would certainly recommend them as reliable and responsive business partners with an eye to the market and having their fingers on the pulse of the Dutch employment sector.
