Norway is the best country in Europe to work in if you identify as LGBT, according to a recent study by Expert Market.

Business price comparison firm Expert Market analyzed 43 countries in European for various legal and social factors to produce the ranking, released earlier this month.

The analysis took into consideration factors like non-discrimination legislation, workplace policies, fair housing measures as well as job-related issues such as unemployment and monthly disposable income.

“There are a lot of studies on where to go when you're LGBT, but they're more related to the best cities to visit, not the best cities to work,” Benjamin Pelosse from Expert Market told The Local.

The problems of LGBT people in the workplace are “not well recognized, so to have anti-discrimination laws is quite powerful,” Pelosse added.
