Tirol's labor market in change: more unemployed despite the open spots!

Osttirol, Österreich - The labor market situation in Tyrol shows mixed developments. As of January 31, 2025, 19,076 people are registered unemployed in Tirol, which corresponds to an increase of 1,197 people compared to the previous year - an increase of 6.7 percent. Nevertheless, the unemployment rate remains the lowest in Austria with 4.9 percent, as dolomitenstadt.at . Over three quarters of these unemployed have been without a job for less than three months, while around 40 percent already have a setting commitment and about 30 percent were recently employed in the construction industry.

industry developments and vacancies

In December 2024, 20,489 people were employed in East Tyrol, the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent. It is striking that the number of newly reported open spots at the AMS Tyrol remains far-stable at AMS Tyrol, with increasing bottlenecks in health and social affairs, gastronomy and construction. Development in the construction system shows a slight increase in employees by 1.0 percent, while in retail and industry, the number of employees has decreased, which again illustrates the challenge of the shortage of skilled workers, as tirol.orf notes.

These dynamic changes show both the challenges and the opportunities on the Tyrolean labor market, in which the decline in open spots in sectors such as retail becomes clear. The upward movements in certain industries could indicate an upcoming stabilization, but the question remains how sustainable this development will be.
