The AMS made almost 15,310 job proposals in the past year. Nevertheless, the situation in industry remains tense. Helmut Fischer, the manager of the AMS Melk, expressed concern about the future development: If the economic upswing failed, unemployment could continue to increase. Currently, 2850 vacancies were reported to the AMS in Melk - however, these were successfully filled with suitable workers, since the demand for workers is still high.

In this dynamic labor market situation, the AMS representatives use the opportunity to qualify. By the end of November 2024, 478 people have already participated in the AMS training courses, which represents an increase of 25.8 percent compared to the previous year. These measures show that the AMS endeavors to make a suitable offer to every customer - either a job or further training - in order to tackle the challenges on the job market. Further information on the vacancies and the labor market can also be found on the platform of the AMS, which provides comprehensive data. This information is particularly important to better understand the dynamics on the labor market .
