jobbresultat

jobbresultat is a compound noun used in Swedish (and, less commonly, Norwegian) to refer to the outcome of work-related efforts. The term literally means “job result” and is commonly used in contexts that concern employment and labor market policy, education-to-work transitions, and human resources analytics. In public employment services and program evaluations, jobbresultat describes the employment outcomes of participants, such as the share who obtain suitable paid work, the time elapsed before starting a job, job retention, and earnings after placement. It can also encompass job quality indicators like full-time status, stability, and career progression.

Usage: In statistics and reporting, governments and agencies publish metrics on jobbresultat to assess program effectiveness and inform policy decisions. Researchers analyze trends in jobbresultat across programs and regions to identify best practices for helping job seekers.

Measurement: Typical indicators include employment rate among participants, time to employment, duration of employment, hourly wages or monthly earnings, and re-employment stability after a defined period (for example, 6 or 12 months). The exact definition of jobbresultat varies by program and country, reflecting different goals and data availability.

Etymology and related terms: The word combines jobb with resultat; it is related to terms like employment outcome and job placement rate. See also employment outcome, job placement, and labor-market success.
