A large portion of the jobs in <strong>Stavanger</strong> are associated with<br />

the oil industry or the industrial and administrative sectors,<br />

as shown in the diagram above. At the other end of the scale<br />

are agriculture, forestry and fishing (“Agriculture etc.”).<br />

People from <strong>Stavanger</strong> are often called “siddiser”,<br />

probably a Norwegian version of the English citizen,<br />

originating in the shipping era. At present, 12.5% of<br />

the inhabitants are immigrants. The above diagram<br />

indicates where these 15 000 new “siddiser” come<br />

from. The largest 20 groups are specified, but over<br />

130 other nationalities are included in “Others”.
