The thing I was reading was where some guy looked swedish, had a swedish name, and could speak swedish, but was an immigrant and it took him 2 years to find a job.

I'm not sure if you're talking about one guy specificly or generally, but I call bullshit in either case. Obviously, the qualifications you need to get a job is not about to look swedish, having a swedish name and being born in sweden. There's tons of reason why such guy in your example wouldn't get the jobs he's looking for. E.G. lack of education, the education he has gotten abroud doesn't hold the swedish standards, lack of motivation, his swedish is not as good as necessarely (e.g. customer service-jobs), demanding/searching for jobs higher than his own standard, attitude problems etc. etc.

Let me make my point even clearer by making another example; The thing I was reading was some guy looked normal, he had an average swedish haircut, dressed in normal clothes, and had a hat on his head. It took him 2 years to find a job.

I understand you have read something like that though, because that's the swedish political correct agenda and that's the only thing they focus on when they try to find connections in things - "Oh! He doesn't get a job because he's immigrant!". A famous and former party leader of the next biggest party in sweden, Mona Sahlin who also got the second most votes in the election of prime minister, said "If two equally qualified people apply for the same job, the one named Mohammed shall have the job.". With that said, Sweden and most of its people are very pro-immigrants, too much if you ask me.

Nasir, if you find a decent job as a normal employee you can expect a salary from 20-26k SEK give and take. I think you have fairly good chances in finding a job since you have the opportunity to settle down/search for jobs anywhere in the country and aren't restricted to a certain area. Also, pretty much every swede knows english so the communication shouldn't be a problem.

EDIT;
Sweden is not significantly more expensive than the rest of Europe. A high living standard with a salary that matches the prices. The summers are awesome, with the days with nice weather making up for the, sadly somewhat many, rainy days. The winters can be very cold and might seem long and boring, but they can be really nice and beautiful if you simply find something to do and enjoy.

The people are generally very nice, outgoing and good at small talk, which is what's high valued in social situations. With this being a priority, swedes are somewhat shallow and hard to talk to about actually interesting things until you get to know them or get drunk with them. The social acceptance is a very important part in many swedes lives and that's why the political correctness is very strong in Sweden. An average swede's opinion is mainly molded from what is accepted by the majority of the people. Be careful to express the wrong opinion conserning sensitive subjects in the wrong environment or it might lead to serious consecvenses, even as far as losing your job.
