[edit] Working class suburb?
This stub seems to be written by an old communist. Suburbs like Tensta are marked with high unemployment. I have no stats available, but I would guess most of the adult people do not work.

- working class indicates the type of suburb Tensta is. If it would just say suburb, most American readers would think it was a upper middle class area, which is usually what a suburb in the US is like. Bronks

- You can live in you communist dream-cuckoo land, but the fact is most inhabitants of Tensta and similar suburbs do not work. XavierTheGreat 02:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

- Working class could well refer to the unemployed. 惑乱 分からん 19:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

- Exactly, Working class has nothing at all to do with whether you are actually employed or not, and besides, 3.7% is hardly "most inhabitants". /Hugoflug 20:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unemployment discussion
Quote (p. 65):
61 percent of the inhabitants able of working were unemployed in 1995. Later estimations show that this figure has fallen to 50 percent.
Quote (p. 64): It is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Stockholm with its high rates of unemployed residents (8,7 percent), social welfare dependency (40 percent), immigrants (66 percent), and low education level.
(the NYT says 85% immigrants, btw, which i suppose is a good source for wikipedia.)
I think you misread 8.7 as 3.7. How can a neighborhood constantly characterized as having "high umemployment" have such low rates? I cannot find that number in the study at all. Can you please discuss things before assuming I'm making up material? That's what the talk page is for. Didn't you tell me wikipedia has a good faith policy? Misheu 11:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
