This paper investigates the level of consciousness regarding to the diversity work in the municipalities of Malmö, Lund and Landskrona. The study focuses on persons in a middle management position connected to various spheres of activities in each municipality. A survey concerning each municipality's diversity plan, diversity work, recruiting process, education and knowledge was used to investigate the participants' consciousness. The survey poses similar questions regarding equality between the sexes to compare the results from each field. The paper presents an overview of the development of Sweden's labour market and society, and gives an account for the differences between immigrants and natives positions in the labour market. This is both to give an understanding for why it is the way it is today, and to position the paper's investigation and the results in relation to labour markets structures and the national work to integrate immigrants in the labour market. The results of the investigation show that there exists a degree of consciousness in the different municipalities concerning questions about diversity, but it is limited mostly to the quantitative perspective of diversity work, meanwhile consciousness regarding the internal qualitative diversity work appears to be low, which can have a negative impact on immigrants integration at both municipal level and the national level.
