📋 Tender Overview
The significant recovery on the Lower Austrian labor market continued in October. Despite the onset of seasonal unemployment unemployment continues to decline. At the end of October 2021 a total of 41789 people were registered as unemployed - a decrease of 24.3 compared to October 2020 and a decrease of 10.0 compared to October 2019. If you include the training participants there are 50734 in Lower Austria compared to the same month last year 12696 or 20.0 fewer people registered with the AMS. While unemployment in Lower Austria has risen seasonally from September to October in the last twelve years this year it has continued to decline for the first time. At exactly 6 the unemployment rate is almost as low as it was last exactly ten years ago October 2011 5.8.For example the current unemployment rate from September in the districts of Horn and Waidhofen Ybbs with 2.5 each Scheibbs and Zwettl with 2.6 each and Melk with 3 are in some cases significantly at full employment level. In the Waidhofen Thaya district the unemployment rate is 3.9 as low as it was 39 years ago 1982 3.8.Lower Austria recorded the absolute largest decline in unemployment -4618 people of all federal states in a two-year comparison in relative terms it is the fourth largest after Carinthia Salzburg and Tyrol said AMS regional manager Sven Hergovich. In Austria the expected unemployment rate for October is 6.5 October 2020 8.7 and is therefore below the pre-crisis level October 2019 7.0.By far the strongest decline of 29.3 was found among young people where a clear minus of 21.0 was achieved compared with the pre-crisis level. This reduced the maximum number of registered young people in the course of the year from 6629 in January to 3506.The impending consolidation of unemployment remains the greatest challenge on the Lower Austrian labor market although the decline in long-term unemployment in Lower Austria is progressing steadily. The high level of long-term unemployed in the last six months was reduced from 16341 people in March to 11244. That is a reduction of over 31. There is also a decrease compared to the previous year. With the long-term unemployed we have a reduction of over 11 compared to October 2020. This shows that the joint programs between the state of Lower Austria and AMS N against long-term unemployment are achieving the desired effects. We will continue to pull together to get people who have been unemployed for more than a year back into work said Provincial Councilor Martin Eichtinger. Nevertheless long-term unemployment remains the core problem of labor market policy. One in four almost 27 in Lower Austria is currently affected by long-term unemployment.In the past month 7309 new job offers were reported to the AMS Niedersterreich. With 17550 there are currently more vacancies than ever before. In October alone 6254 vacancies were filled with suitable workers. Compared to the previous year this means a strong increase of 29.4.As has been the case for months men benefit from the current labor market development somewhat more -6934 or -24.2 than women -6459 or -24.3. According to age group there was a year-on-year decline of -26.9 for people of prime working age 25-49 years at the end of October and a decrease of -19.6 for older people 50. In terms of sectors the strongest declines compared to the previous year were in retail -2440 in accommodation and catering -2083 in building management and temporary employment almost -1700 in total in goods production -1403 and in healthcare - and social affairs -796 in construction -789 and transport -745.
