📋 Tender Overview
The current unemployment figures are more than just terrifying. 521000 people are meanwhile unemployed which is a high value that raises all alarm bells said AK President Renate Anderl worried about the current labor market data. The Corona crisis has led to a significant drop in employment. Unemployment is associated with a high risk of poverty and high health risks. Most recently almost a third of the unemployed had been unemployed for more than twelve months and the trend is rising sharply. Once unemployed persists it is difficult to reduce. Anderl The government is called upon to translate its words into deeds in the new year. It is not enough to rely on training the unemployed alone. The government must ensure more employment so that unemployment can fall again. Simply watching the growth of long-term unemployment costs more in the long run than acting quickly. In addition to higher unemployment benefits there is a need for a job guarantee for those who have almost no chance on the job market.The Corona crisis has also shown how important well-functioning public services are. It also uncovered a decisive shortcoming in all of these areas There is a lack of staff in nursing homes hospitals health authorities the AMS and schools. The public sector must become active again as an employer in these areas give the unemployed the prospect of good employment and ensure that social services and state administration function smoothly even in a crisis. Anderl Investing out of the crisis means creating and expanding employment in these public services.
