Vienna in the labor market alarm: unemployment increases significantly!

The AMS-Vice-Vice-Presentine Katharina Luger asks young people who want to start an apprenticeship next year to get advice early. Currently, over 1,300 open apprenticeships for autumn 2025 are promised, which is an increase of one third compared to the previous year. But with 3,837 young people who are currently looking for apprenticeships, there is considerable pressure on the apprenticeship market. The AMS central calls to find out before Christmas, as early advice is important to find suitable places. These developments are particularly critical, since the unemployment rate in Vienna has increased by 0.6 percentage points to 7.1 percent, according to the Ministry of Labor and Economic Affairs. Export -oriented countries like Austria particularly hard affect the economic consequences of global sturdy flakes, which further increases uncertainty on the labor market.

fluctuations in various industries

A look at regional differences shows that unemployment in Upper Austria has increased by 19.6 percent. 35,884 people without a job were registered here at the end of November. Iris Schmidt from the AMS Upper Austria states that the economic faults have a significant concern to the industry, especially in areas with a high dependence on export -oriented industrial branches. Small and medium -sized companies have hired personnel, but the industrial recession is noticeable in all areas. These serious trends show that there is a need for a strong labor market policy to reduce the pressure on young people and employees in industry, as the Chamber of Labor President Renate Anderl emphasizes.
