No jobs for older people
The 50+ generation makes up a third of the unemployed
Older people are now finding it increasingly difficult on the labor market in Lower Austria. But there are also fewer jobs for the very young.
Economic experts are constantly preaching that retirement in this country usually happens far too early. People should stay in work longer.
Claim out of touch with reality
However, this demand does not match the reality of the domestic labor market. Because the current AMS balance sheet shows: In Lower Austria, more than a third of all unemployed people are already older than 50. In July, their number rose again by more than 1,400 - or 7.2 percent. But even younger people do not have an easy time finding a job in Lower Austria. On the contrary. In the group of unemployed people up to the age of 24, the increase is actually the largest at more than 4,200 people or 11.2 percent.
Production collapses
There was a "change of leadership" in the sectors affected by the job shortage: Construction is now in second place, with most of the new unemployed - up 16.5 percent - being recorded in the manufacturing sector. A total of 41,999 people were registered as unemployed between Enns and Leitha at the beginning of the month. This is 8.8 percent more than a year ago.
