In the Bruck district, developments on the labor market are remarkably dynamic despite a weak economic situation and increasing unemployment. In October, 332 new job seekers reported, while 360 ​​people ended their unemployment. In the age group of 25 to 50 years, an increase of 57 people can be determined, which is a total of 695 job seekers.

As Herbert Leidenfrost, the head of the AMS office, explains unemployment compared to the previous year by 66 people to 1,224. This corresponds to an increase of 5.7% and is below the Lower Austrian average of 7.6%. Despite the challenges, a slight increase in open areas was observed, which indicates that specialists are still urgently sought. "We strive to make everyone an offer - be it in the form of job or qualification," added Leidenfrost.

In the months of the year so far, the AMS consultants have submitted a total of 14,000 placement proposals to job seekers. So far, 1,903 people have ended their unemployment through a new job. There are currently 307 reported vacancies, which are 61 less than in the previous year, but at the same time you have an increase in access to new positions by 39 offers to 181 vacancies. So far, 1,538 jobs in the AMS Bruck have been successfully filled, which is a slight plus compared to the previous year.

Currently 230 people use the AMS qualification offers, which represents an increase in 25 people compared to previous years. In the coming weeks, an increase in seasonal unemployment will be forecast. Already in the first days of November, 90 people reported unemployed. It should be emphasized that more and more unemployed use the online services of the AMS; Seven out of ten unemployed now use these digital offers. A particularly useful offer, emphasizes Leidenfrost, is the early unemployment report on the EAMS account that saves long waiting times in the AMS.

The linking of employment agency and qualification offers seems to be a central point for the authority. The current figures show that the AMS is increasingly committed to creating a smooth transition for job seekers into new jobs. This is particularly important because the labor market is in constant change and the requirements for employees also change.
