According to reports, approximately 500 youth have been vying for positions at the zoo, with many seeing it as a chance to take their first steps into the labor market. On March 25, 2026, two young workers from Hörby began their first day as seasonal employees.
Fanny Åkesson, 17, and Alvin Sigvardsson, 18, started their positions at the zoo, with Åkesson reportedly stating, "This feels more fun than a regular job," a sentiment echoed by Sigvardsson. For many young people, seasonal work at Skånes djurpark represents an important entry point to employment, though competition for these positions remains high. The zoo's seasonal hiring reflects broader patterns of youth employment in the region during spring and summer months.
