Tyrol under pressure: Income scissors between men and women continue to stake!

Tyrol under pressure: Income scissors between men and women continue to stake!

As part of an analysis by the Court of Auditors, it turned out that the middle gross annual income in Tyrol was only 34,000 euros for 2023. Tyrol thus occupies the penultimate place among the Austrian federal states, only Vienna cuts off even worse with a median of 36,300 euros. These figures also make a highlight of the distribution of income in Austria, where the low value in Tyrol reflects a combination of a high part -time share and the presence of seasonal jobs, especially in tourism. Nevertheless, the question remains why employees with year -round full -time jobs in Tirol do not earn better, where they live cheaper in many cases than in Vienna or Salzburg, as tirol.Af reports.

Another important aspect of this analysis is the significant income gap between the sexes. Even with full -time employees, women in Tyrol earn an average of 16 percent less than their male colleagues. This discrepancy is a well -known problem throughout Austria that is also noticeable in Tyrol. The Court of Auditors explains that the residence of the employees have a decisive influence on the median income. Many who have well -paid jobs in Vienna can live outside the city, which Tirol hits particularly hard in income statistics, as the Austrian statistics show ( Statistics Austria ).

The picture in Tyrol therefore speaks a clear language about the economic reality in regions that are often addressed touristically, which nevertheless suffer from an income that cannot compete with the cost of living in other federal states. The uneven wage distribution according to gender also remains an urgent social issue that cannot be ignored in the coming year.
