📋 Tender Overview
The Lower Austrian labor market has again recorded a decline since the height of the Corona crisis. In August the number of unemployed at 59994 is -2.6 percent below the previous month but still 12351 people above the level of the previous year said Martin Eichtinger the regional councilor responsible for the labor market who also emphasized That Lower Austria currently has the lowest increase of all federal states after Carinthia. We will continue to campaign for every workplace with our measures. If you include the training participants in Lower Austria in August there were 67172 or 21 percent more people registered with AMS N than in the same month last year. In April it was 54 percent.According to age group there was a year-on-year increase of 30.6 percent for prime-age people 25 to 49 years of age and 19.4 percent for older people 50. Among young people the increase was 27.2 percent 1287. This means that the increase in youth unemployment compared to the previous year is significantly lower than at the height of the crisis in April 2020 with 114.6 percent compared to April 2019 and only slightly higher than the increase for all age groups combined. This development shows us that we are on the right track with the measures that we have taken as part of the Lower Austrian apprenticeship offensive with the state of Lower Austria and the social partners even in times of the Corona crisis explains AMS N Managing Director Hergovich.The rise in unemployment compared to the previous year affects women 24.1 percent almost as much as men 27.8 percent. In terms of sectors the strongest growth compared to the previous year was in retail 2440 in temporary employment 2030 and in accommodation and catering 1867. Compared to the previous year unemployment rose in all Lower Austrian districts although here too the increases have flattened significantly since the beginning of the crisis the increase in the Horn district is now only 3 people 0.6 percent. The plus is still most evident in St. Plten 1599 and in Baden 1466. At the end of August AMS N had a total of 933 vacant apprenticeships available to fill 99 or 11.9 percent more than in the previous year.
