According to the report, of the 350,000 new jobs, 120,000 of them expected to come from the health sector.

Furthermore, service providers, which include temporary workers and educational providers, could expect to see 100,000 new jobs, which is part due to the high demand for language courses for refugees. Trade, transport and the hospitality sector are expected to grow by 75,000, followed by the construction sector with an increase of 30,000, the industrial sector with 20,000 new jobs, and information and communication with a growth of 20,000.
