Employers celebrate the day of work: how entrepreneurs secure prosperity!

In Austria, the “Day of Work” is traditionally celebrated on May 1st, which focuses on the importance of work and jobs. April 30th, as the "day of employers", is intended to pay special attention to the role of entrepreneurs for employment, prosperity and social security. This is celebrated for the 13th time to point out the central role of entrepreneurs. OE24 reports that jobs are essential foundations for economic progress.

Especially one-person companies (EPU) make an important contribution to the economy. These companies not only create their own jobs, but are also characterized by courage, innovative strength and commitment. For example, there are around 88,944 entrepreneurs in Upper Austria who have created 504,546 jobs. In addition, there are 2,660 companies that export goods and services worth 50.1 billion euros. Around 10,000 jobs are secured for each exported amount of 1 billion euros.

The Situation in the federal states

In Carinthia, over 38,000 companies work that employ more than 190,000 people. In the federal capital of Vienna, around 32,000 family -run companies take care of around 460,000 employees, while these companies implement 142 billion euros annually. This once again underlines the relevance of family -run companies for the national economy.

In the context of the German labor market, Dr. Rainer Dulger, President of the employer, on the German employer day on October 22, 2024, the challenges with which companies are faced with in the Federal Republic of the Federal Republic. According to a survey by Forsa, 52 % of the entrepreneurs find the economic framework inadequate, while 29 % even rate them as bad. Over 80 % of the companies surveyed are concerned about the current developments.

Dulger demands a more economic -friendly environment to unleash the economic giants of Germany. He emphasizes that problems such as increasing unemployment and increasing regulation put a strain on the economy. The shortage of skilled workers in significant industries such as IT, engineering and care increases the challenges, while the unemployment rate in Germany is around 6 % in 2024.

The job market and its challenges

The relationship between the labor market and the economy is central to modern economies. A high employment rate not only promotes consumption, but also ensures stable tax revenue. However, high unemployment figures show that economic performance is endangered. Structural changes and demographic change in particular make it necessary to improve the offer of workers. Wirtschaftscheck describes the challenges that arise from precarious employment relationships and the need to integrate older workers.

Programs for securing skilled workers are becoming increasingly important, whereby companies have to increase their attractiveness through flexible working time models and family -friendly offers. "Green jobs" and transformation to a sustainable economy also play a central role in the future of the labor market. The minimum wage was raised to 12.41 euros per hour in 2024 to promote fair working conditions.
