Brushing stress in Gänserndorf: Change in labor market

The situation on the job market in the Gänserndorf district is increasingly shaped by the emigration of the so -called “Baby Boomer”, an age group that is now retiring. This change has far -reaching consequences for many companies that have to fight with the consequences of the pension exit. The labor market service (AMS) Gänserndorf recorded 3,587 unemployed people at the end of September. Compared to the previous year, this is an increase of 189 people, which corresponds to an increase of 5.6 percent. Despite this development, there is also positive news: 564 unemployed were able to find a new job in September. This corresponds to an increase of 6.2 percent compared to the same month and shows that there is still movement in the job market.

However, there are more than just challenges on the job market. The number of open spots shows an upward trend. According to AMS, 497 jobs were registered at the end of September, which means a decline of 46 jobs or 8.5 percent compared to the previous year, but has a significant improvement compared to the minus of 33 percent in June. Georg Grund-Groiss, the head of the AMS Gänserndorf, points out that demographic change in the workforce is evident and emphasizes that the AMS is actively working to support companies in the mediation of workers and necessary qualification measures.

increase in unemployment in Ü-50-year-olds

An interesting aspect is the condition of the unemployment rate among over 50s. This shows that the increase in unemployment in this age group is already flattening. With 1,260 unemployed in this age group, there is only a slight increase in 16 people or 1.3 percent compared to the previous year. In particular, the increase in pensions is noteworthy: While 172 people retired directly from unemployment in 2017, there were already 30777. Grund-Groiss assumes that the number will be even higher this year.

The demographic changes and the associated effects on the labor market are the causes of the current situation. In particular, the return of older workers retired could open additional gaps on the job market. Companies have to pay more attention to how they react to these developments to meet their personnel requirements.

In summary, the development on the job market in the Gänserndorf district shows that, although challenges from the departure of the Baby Boomer exist, there are also opportunities for new jobs and active support from the AMS. The number of vacancies could signal that even in difficult times it is possible to create new perspectives.
