Stress test: the oil downturn and the pandemic

How did employment and unemployment in the municipality develop in two downturns, compared with the country?

The oil downturn (2014–2016)

The number of jobs changed by +1.5% from 2014 to 2016, against −1.3% in the country: a stronger development than the country.

The change in jobs is in the second-strongest quarter of municipalities in the period.

The pandemic (2019–2020)

The number of jobs changed by −1.8% from 2019 to 2020, about like the country (−0.9%).

Registered unemployment 20191.4%1.8%–

The change in jobs is in the second-weakest quarter of municipalities in the period.

Jobs are employed persons aged 15–74 by workplace in the 4th quarter (SSB 07984). Unemployment is registered unemployed as a share of the labour force (SSB 13563). The country is the sum of the municipalities, on today's municipality map. Within one percentage point counts as “about like the country”. Oil and gas is industry 05–09 (extraction and services), without the supply industry. pp = percentage points.

Cost and quality of services · 2025

Cost per user and one quality measure for three services, compared with the median of the municipality group (KOSTRA).

ServiceCostGroup median Quality measureGroup medianPosition against the group
Kindergarten cost per child in municipal kindergartens, share of qualified kindergarten teachers NOK 255,607 −12% against the median NOK 291,355 32% 43% Lower cost, lower quality measure (38 municipalities in the group)
Primary school net expenditure per inhabitant aged 6–15, lower secondary school points NOK 140,377 −13% against the median NOK 161,523 39.8 41.4 Lower cost, lower quality measure (38 municipalities in the group)
Nursing homes expenditure per resident day, share of care staff with health education NOK 6,013 +1% against the median NOK 5,961 77% 75% Higher cost, higher quality measure (38 municipalities in the group)

KOSTRA (SSB 12379, 13502, 12255 and 12209). One measure is not the whole quality of a service, and school points also reflect the pupils' background. Cost depends on settlement patterns and distances. The figures are a starting point for questions, not a grade.
