<p> <strong> Unemployment in the district of Liezen: September numbers show 9.1 % increase </strong> </p>

The Liezen Liezen Liezen has published current figures on unemployment in the Liezen district, which are important for many. In September 2024 there were 1,162 unemployed people, which means an increase of 9.1 % compared to the previous year. This remarkable increase is particularly due to the premature end of the summer season in the tourism sector. Brigitte Wasmer, the head of the AMS, emphasizes, however, that this increase is "no reason to be concerned". The current unemployment rate in the district is now around 3.5 % and has only risen minimally compared to August 2024.

In the district of Liezen, a total of 1,372 vacancies are currently available. However, compared to the previous month, the number of immediately available places has dropped by 13.6 %, which means a decline of 159 jobs. On the other hand, however, there are 364 places that are not to be filled immediately, which is an increase of 8.3 %.

For young people, the upcoming professional and career fair offers an excellent opportunity to find out about the possibilities in the labor market.
