Description

Railway company SJ is cutting 400 jobs in administrative and sales positions.

This is due to increased online ticket sales and a reduced need for the company’s sales offices, of which 18 will be closed in the country.

In 2012, the ERM reported on SJ’s plans to hire 150 additional train drivers by the end of 2015.
