Economy under pressure: Failure for skilled workers endangers Lower Austria's future!

Niederösterreich, Österreich - The Lower Austrian economy faces a critical challenge: a blatant shortage of work is in danger of endangering the stability of the business location. Current figures show that in August 27,251 jobs remained vacant, which is a clear alarm call for companies and politics. Wolfgang Ecker, President of the WKNÖ, and Harald Servus, director of the WBNÖ, warned in a joint press conference that the companies are significantly burdened without targeted measures and that competitiveness continues to suffer, as orf.at reported. They called for incentives to increase the attractiveness of full -time jobs and emphasized the need to counteract the lack of employees, among other things, through tax -free overtime. Ecker said: "Full -time work has to be more attractive again."

At a New Year's reception of the Chamber of Commerce, business representatives made their claims to the future federal government. Here, too, they addressed the pressing problems, such as high paying payments and critical bureaucracy. WKNÖ President Ecker called for a significant step towards reducing non-wage costs-"more net of gross" is to be reached for the employees. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner supported these demands for relief and funding for innovation and emphasized the need to strengthen competitiveness again, such as wbnoe.at reports. At a time when the economy is at a turning point, quick action is required to set the course for the future.
