Neunkirchen: Labor market stabilizes despite increasing unemployment

Even if unemployment in the Neunkirchen district is still an issue, the current figures show that the situation is slightly stabilized. According to the latest reports on the labor market situation, the unemployment rate rose by 4.2 percent by the end of September. This may seem significant, but this increase is 3.6 percent below the national average, which is a positive trend for the district. There are currently 2,346 people looking for a job.

In the first three quarters of this year, 3,317 job seekers were able to end their unemployment through a new job. This is an encouraging sign, especially against the background of the economic uncertainties that affect many people. "By the end of September, 77 formerly long -term unemployed have already found a job again this year. Long -term unemployment is not a fate that we will accept for our customers!" Emphasizes Petra Hofmann, head of the Labor Market Service (AMS) Neunkirchen. The initiative to make an offer to every person concerned is still a central concern.

vacancies and training measures

Currently 689 vacancies are available in the district. This represents an increase of 1 percent compared to the previous year and a remarkable increase of 36.2 percent compared to five years ago. The AMS Neunkirchen shows that it is not just about reducing unemployment, but also actively increasing the employment opportunities.

In addition, 528 job seekers from the Neunkirchen district used the upcoming training courses of the AMS. These training courses help to expand the skills of the participants and to improve their opportunities on the job market. "Our motto continues: Everyone gets an offer - job or qualification," explains Hofmann.

The AMS actively takes its place in the region to support people in this difficult phase and offer further help. With targeted measures and programs, noticeable progress has already been made. Nevertheless, the challenge remains to find suitable solutions for the ongoing problems of the labor market as a community.
