As previously stated, Norway's current struggle is with it's unemployment rate. Though this issue appears to be leveling out, it is expected to be a recurrent issue until 2012, although this is purely speculative. In 2009 the unemployment rate was at 3.3% to the now 3.9% in 2010. These numbers indicate that Norway's unemployment rates are definitely an issue, and are not going away without some type of reform.
GDP however has been rising in a more positive direction as of 2010. Norwegian economists estimate a rise in GDP of around 1.4% by the end of 2010, and 2.5% by the year 2011. This portrays an optimistic future for the Norwegian people, and something to aspire to uphold.
The government has set up a public committee to examine the regulatory framework regulating the Norwegian financial market in light of the financial crisis. This is a positive step towards reforming the labor issues and gives the people of Norway reassurance that actions are being taken. It seems to me that Norway's government really cares about it's people and the overall benefit of it's economy.
