Recent news from Copenhagen Post:
- Executives: Unemployment has peaked, new jobs coming. Nearly three years of job losses are drawing to a close, say some of the country's biggest employers. Many of the country's biggest employers are gearing up to hire new employees and grow again, according to a new Greens Greens Analyseinstitut/B�rsen study. Some 786 executives at large companies took part in the study. Some 35 percent reported that they plan to hire new employees in the coming six months. On the other hand, some 15 percent plan to scale down in the next six months. The current unemployment rate is roughly six percent. The number of unemployed grew from 100,000 in June 2008 to 168,000 today, according to Statistics Denmark.
- The country's taxi drivers should wear uniforms on the job, according to a new bill from the transport minister, which will be introduced in parliament soon. The proposal is being met with enthusiasm by the taxi industry.
- A drawn out case about the right to build an enormous box store in the Jutland town of Horsens ended yesterday with a ruling in favour of the megastore. Despite complaints from an organisation of small business owners and local planning laws limiting the size of stores unless an exceptional need is established, the Supreme Court upheld an earlier ruling that the 14,000 square meter shopping centre was lawfully built.
- CO2-saving investments at home pay off at sales time, new study shows. Some 50 percent of home buyers factor in energy costs when coming up with a purchase offer, according to a new study reported by Politiken newspaper. "Buyers are paying attention to whether a house has a B or an E energy rating, and they have seriously begun to factor energy costs into their calculations of how much they are willing to spend on a house," said Torben Kaas, director of the Danish Construction Association. By law a house must be given an energy rating on a scale from A-G before it can be put up for sale, and the rating must be visible in the sales listing. An 'A' rating means that a property uses the least energy, while a 'G' rating means that the property uses a lot.
