Burgenland in the upswing: employment record despite the crisis!

Burgenland, Österreich - The Burgenland is a model model in the current economic situation, as the SPÖ club chairman Robert Hergovich emphasizes. According to Hergovich, the country has better through the crisis than other federal states, which clearly certifies the youngest bank Austria country analysis. The increase in employment of 3.3 percent is particularly impressive, which makes Burgenland the leader in federal state comparison. While many regions suffer from economic pressure, Burgenland draws a positive balance with a plus for the overnight number. While the Austrian average fights with a decline of 24.4 percent, Burgenland has an increase of 7.3 percent and thus already reaches the preliminary crisis level, which Hergovich calls Hergovich as "excellent success".

strategies against the shortage of skilled workers

In order to continue the positive development, the SPÖ and Greens have submitted an application to the state parliament, which calls for a comprehensive strategy to combat the shortage of skilled workers. This motion for resolution will be dealt with in the next meeting of the state parliament on March 20. Critical voices come from the FPÖ, which demands a better balance between state responsibility and entrepreneurial freedom to relieve companies and promote their settlements and extensions

The current economic situation in Burgenland is also supported by targeted measures by the state government, says Hergovich. Programs such as the bonus ticket and the craftsman bonus have made a decisive contribution to the fact that the construction industry can record a remarkable plus of 6.8 percent. Hergovich emphasizes that "every fourth euro in Burgenland flows into growth and employment", even in a pandemic time. Compared to these positive developments, political opponents such as the ÖVP club chairman Markus Ulram criticize that the SPÖ is celebrating itself and passing the reality of life of the Burgenland population, because the citizens have had many burdens in the past. The discussion about the Burgenland's business strategy remains lively and controversial, while the country is still on growth course.
