Thanks to a job at a café, Maria Kullmar managed to turn her life around. After being long-term unemployed and unsuccessful efforts from the Swedish Public Employment Service, she found a solution and is now the operations manager at a café in Halmstad. The café's salaries are financed by the state wage subsidy, a subsidy that has not been increased in five years. Now workplaces like Maria's are at risk of going bankrupt and disappearing.
