Carinthia defies the crisis: the slightest increase in unemployment in Austria!
in June 2025, Carinthia was increasing the state with the slightest increase in the increase in unemployment of only 3.7 % compared to other federal states. The total number of unemployed people was thus 28.014, which also means an increase in training participants: inside 4.9 %, such as klick-kaernten.at reported.

The decline in unemployment among young people under the age of 19 even fell by 7.9 %. There was a minimal increase of only 0.3 %for those under 25. The number of long -term unemployed increased by 2.7 %, whereas it rose by 27.2 % across Austria. According to the
only two districts, Wolfsberg and Villach, recorded a decline in unemployment, with -3.5 % or -1.2 %.
