Pinzgau labor market: increase in unemployment and apprenticeship search!

Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer, Österreich - In Pinzgau, the labor market remains stable despite difficult economic framework. According to information from Karin Eiwan, the office manager of the AMS Zell am See, 2,107 people were registered unemployed at the end of May. This means an increase of 4.2 percent compared to the previous year. The numbers are challenging, but it turns out that more than half of the unemployed have already found a permanent job.

The unemployment rate in the Zell am See district is 5.1 percent, which corresponds to a slight increase of 0.2 percent compared to the previous year. For comparison: Nationwide, the unemployment rate in Salzburg is 4.5 percent and 6.9 percent throughout Austria, as the current statistics show. Meinzirk.at reports on a striking increase in long-term unemployment, which has increased by 29.8 percent, which corresponds to 135 affected people. The industry production, trade, traffic, storage, storage and accommodation and gastronomy are particularly affected.

peculiarities of unemployment

It is particularly noteworthy that unemployment in people over 50 years has increased less than in other age groups with an increase of 1.6 percent. Nevertheless, the overall situation remains tense, because the influx of new unemployed was 627 people, which means an increase of 24.9 percent, as well as ams.at describes.

The number of apprenticeship seekers have also increased, by 41.9 percent. At the end of May there were 44 people looking for an apprenticeship. At the same time, the inventory of immediately available open apprenticeships fell by 31.3 percent to 184. This development is alarming and requires urgent measures from domestic companies.

an appeal to the companies

Karin Eiwan urged the Pinzgau companies to continue to invest in apprenticeship training and report empty apprenticeships. This is particularly important to ensure future specialists. Despite the challenging circumstances, it turns out that there are some declines in the open positions, including in the areas of trade, traffic, administration and health professions, which were reduced by 10.1 percent.

The current situation makes it clear that Pinzgau must continue to hold together in these difficult times. The feedback on employment offers and investments in the training of youth are now essential. This is the key to successfully countering the challenges of the labor market and strengthening the Pinzgau employment location.
