It’s in absolute terms smaller than London etc, but relative to population it must be pretty tech-dense. Software developer is the most common occupation these days in a labor market of 2 million. That’s surely unusual?

> labor market of 2 million

Maybe I misunderstood - where does this number come from? There are more than 5 million in working age in Sweden.

Sorry this refers to the capital region only. I’m so used to seeing “Stockholm is the SV of Europe” that I didn’t notice this headline being “Sweden”. The population of the Greater Stockholm area is around 2M
