Visualization showing median income per Swedish municipality.

Sweden’s about to more-than-double its work permit salary threshold. Most Swedes don’t realize this affects ~50k immigrants already working here.

I put together this viz to try and bring it home. “Would the Average Joe in my municipality be allowed to remain?”

That the figure gets updated annually seems especially cruel. Maybe you clear the bar now, but your permit’s up for renewal in a year. What will 80% of the median be then? And will they decide to bump it to 100% by then?

@emmalofgren.bsky.social Q for you: is it possible that, because the work permit salary threshold has been pegged to a value based on the median Swedish salary, the government’s run afoul of discrimination law? (Eg because it negatively affects women)
