Compared to the previous year, there was a significant increase in the unemployed, but the number fell considerably compared to February: 40,155 Upper Austria were noticed in March at the labor market service. Two groups are now particularly difficult in the struggle for jobs.
“Despite the recession and the falling employment development, more people were able to get a foothold on the higher Austrian labor market than in March of the previous year,” says Iris Schmidt, director of the Oberösterreich Labor Market Service. As difficult as the challenges as a result of the sunken consumer mood and the growing uncertainty, the AMS boss are also to express positive things.
More than a quarter of job seekers have a health problem
A glance at this year’s figures is sufficient. In January, around 49,267 people were noticed at the AMS as a work, the number of unemployed fell to 46,518 in February. Now in March the number even went back to 40,155. Of the 40,155, 11,753 people with a health restriction are right.
Because companies release employees, the carousel has accepted the employee. Companies that may have taken a position with a candidate who may not have been really suitable can now be exhibited and occupied from a larger selection. “Due to the increasingly released qualified personnel potential, the relocation processes that are already known in the past appear more on the upper Austrian labor market,” says Schmidt.
Which groups mainly suffer? On the one hand, these are the young adults, ie people between the ages of 19 and 24 years. On the other hand, countrymen must also struggle that have different obstacles to mediation and therefore unemployed. Schmidt announces: “In the coming months we will intensify our qualifying and mediation focus even more and with an increased source for these two target groups.”
