Hasselt is the capital of Limburg and, since its merger with Kortessem, has almost 91,000 inhabitants. Work here follows three rhythms: the shopping streets around Demerstraat, the trade fair and concert calendar of the Grenslandhallen, and four days of Pukkelpop in Kiewit every August. On AnyShift, Hasselt businesses and shifters find each other, from an evening on the Grote Markt to a trade fair week at Park H.
Hasselt has two working rhythms: the academic year at UHasselt and PXL, and the shopping crowds in the city centre. When exam study leave keeps students off the floor, flexi-jobbers take over their shifts on Demerstraat and around the Grote Markt.
