industry analyzes and downward trend

The developments show that the problem of unemployment exists across different sectors. While the industry has an increase of 22.8 percent among the unemployed people, the total number of the unemployed in the manufacture of goods remains comparatively low, such as ams tirol reported. In addition, 77.9 percent of the unemployed are less than three months without work, and almost half of them already have an adjustment commitment. However, the decline in the vacancies that fell to 6,709 at the end of November shows that the economic situation remains tense and some industries such as trade and catering are particularly affected.

The situation could be considered a paradox, since despite increasing unemployment in many sectors, there is still a demand for qualified staff. Trading and gastronomy in particular have broken down jobs in the past few months, although new offers in the field of health and social affairs as well as in labor hiring are continued. These developments indicate structural problems in the labor market and present the political decision -makers to take challenges to take measures to stabilize and improve the employment situation.
