The City of Lahti has already started support measures for Novartis workers who lose their jobs – state help is also needed

The closure of Novartis in Nastola comes at a difficult time. Almost one in six people in Lahti is already without a job.

Lahti currently has an unemployment rate of 16% and more than 9 000 unemployed jobseekers.

The announcement did not come as a surprise. The city already started supporting the plant at the end of last year, when the plant was undergoing redundancy negotiations. The city is also trying to find new business and industrial activities at Novart’s premises.

The weak situation in the construction industry is having a widespread impact, and there are currently few vacancies in the direct kitchen equipment industry across Finland.

– Businesses are cautious at the moment, but not all jobs may be in open searches. We are in the employment service to launch job search more widely to find them hidden jobs.
