An increase in unemployment benefit to 70 percent of the last income - that is what SPÖ leader Andreas Babler is calling for. A rejection comes from Vienna. We spoke to City Councillor for Finance Peter Hanke (also SPÖ) about unemployment. And he answers the question: As a company boss, would you hire Babler?

"Krone": When I look at the SPÖ's program, are you still a city councilor for work or already a city councilor for reducing working hours?
Peter Hanke: I am a city councillor for employment and I am very happy to be.

What do you think of the reduction in normal working hours with full pay and staff compensation, a reduction in the maximum permitted daily and weekly working hours and the sixth week of vacation?
