The number of employees in Norway was at its lowest from May to August 2020, immediately after the outbreak of COVID-19, when it amounted to 2.71 million employees. After fluctuating over the next couple of months, the number has increased from February 2021 to the summer of 2022, before dropping slightly through the latter half of 2022 following high inflation rates and economic stagnation.
