Of the 600 Icelanders currently working there, about 200 will continue on in relevant positions as a part of the Icelandic Aviation Authority, and about 70 have found work elsewhere. Already, union officials say they've been flooded with requests from employees seeking to speak with employment councillors about new jobs. "Up until now it's gone tolerably well finding new jobs for people," said Kristján Gunnarsson, chairman of the Union and Seamen's Society of Keflavík. "but there are still many who haven't come in yet." While Gunnarsson is optimistic about employment prospects in the area, he admits that the situation could be better. "The whole area is decreasing in development," he said, "So I can believe that many of these individuals are going to have a hard time starting a new job with a lower salary." -pfn News News in English Mest lesið Lést samstundis þegar ekið var á hana á 143 kílómetra hraða Innlent Greip inn í þegar aldraður faðir hans keypti bíl handa vinkonu sinni Innlent Gummi Emil sver af sér ásakanir um dýraníð: „Ég bað hestinn afsökunar“ Innlent Ólga vegna samskiptaleka: „Ég elska Hitler“ Erlent Bankinn hefur samband ef hann skuldar þér pening Innlent Sóttur sex sinnum á sjúkrabíl og slökkviliðið stefnir vegna skuldar Innlent Segir óvirðingu að kalla Ljósið „samtök úti í bæ“ Innlent Þingmenn misvel klæddir þegar þeir voru reknir út Innlent Rússneskur kafbátur í fylgd sænska hersins Erlent Karlmaður í haldi vegna gruns um brot gegn barni í Hafnarfirði Innlent
