📋 Tender Overview
Markus Koza area spokesman for labor and social affairs for the Greens saw the planned job offensive in principle as a suitable method but said for many groups we need other measures. He thinks its good that the new labor minister Martin Kocher can imagine employment programs because that takes the pressure off people he said.Muchitsch SP criticized the governments labor and economic policy and called for more cooperation. Zopf VP referred to the need to create new jobs otherwise the system will not work. In response to the demand for an increase in unemployment benefits AMS board member Johannes Kopf said that the issue had to be discussed in its entirety and not as an individual measure. In general according to him it is important to pay higher unemployment benefits at the beginning and to reduce it after about three months.Even in the crisis there is a dynamic on the labor market explained Kopf. He is concerned about the people who were unemployed before the crisis - the current long-term unemployed. The so-called base unemployment is certainly higher after the crisis because the long-term unemployed now have an even harder time finding a job he said. In some areas employment will not return to the level before the Corona crisis for years. There are already enough jobs in the IT or care sector.
