Our website is developing

88% of the users of our online services say that finding the information they were looking for was very easy or fairly easy, and all in all the feedback on the website is very positive. In spite of that, there are always items on our website that can and need be improved.

Based on your feedback and user tests we have implemented a number of big and small improvements. The most significant change on the site is improved accessibility. The site now takes into account e.g. contrast issues, and we have implemented technical enhancements to make the site as easy as possible to operate also by those using different technical aids. 

The development work continues and we are always happy to receive any feedback!

This is probably most common in the education sector, with educational institutions closing their doors at the end of the school year. How does unemployment security work in this situation? When can I apply for earnings-related daily allowance? What do I need to take into account?

Election results affect earnings-related unemployment security

The election result signals a shift to the right in Finnish politics. The means of balancing public finances will be a key issue when the new government is formed. A right-leaning government appears the most likely outcome. The election manifestos of right-leaning parties included reforms that can be interpreted as weakening unemployment security.
