Balance up to the end of 2022 – Working time reduction due to corona costs about 9.8 billion euros

Date:

From the start of the pandemic in March 2020 to the end of 2022, the public sector spent approximately €9.82 billion on short-time work subsidies. Including outstanding commitments, the budget burden at the end of December 2022 was approximately EUR 9.91 billion.

An easing of the corona pandemic and stricter access rules for short-time work resulted in a sharp fall in costs over the past year.

According to the Ministry of Labor, a total of almost 5.5 billion euros was paid out in short-time work subsidies in 2020 and about 3.7 billion euros in 2021, in 2022 only about 626 million euros were added, according to Labor Minister Martin Kocher ( ÖVP).
