Nordic capital regions vs the Öresund region

The largest labour markets in the Nordics by open public job ads. Öresund is the only cross-border region — Greater Copenhagen and west Skåne counted as one — and, taken together, it is the second-largest job market in the Nordics, ahead of Oslo and Helsinki combined.

Each area is an explicit set of municipalities, counted by municipality (not the boards' region field, which in Finland tags jobs nationwide as “Uusimaa”). Greater Oslo includes Akershus; Denmark files inner-city jobs without a municipality, so those count as København. See the full municipality lists on the Öresund region page.
