“Party program”
The NHO director boasts of the document’s breadth, where digitization and weather are among the keywords, and calls it a party show.
– Everything we do in the future must be sustainable. The state will have less money to spend in the next few years. So we must guarantee sustainable jobs, because it ensures tax revenues that in turn ensure well-being. And of course we will do it in a good dialogue with all public Norway, politics in general and not least with the other parties in working life, says Almlid.

Private workplaces
For Aftenposten, the NHO director says that around 250,000 new private jobs will be needed to maintain well-being in 2030. He admits that this is an ambitious goal.
– But it’s not impossible, says Almlid.
Among the ten ambitions that NHO has set for 2030 is, among other things, that the gross domestic product until then should increase by 2.3% per year and that the proportion of employees between 20 and 70 years old increases to 77.5% . Additionally, the organization wants CO₂ emissions to be reduced by 50 percent from 1990 levels.
