The job market continues to recover

in July 2021, the number of unemployed fell by 1.9 percent compared to June 2021 to 241,892. The continued increase in the open spots is approaching the pre -crisis level.

"The job market continues to recover from the negative corona effects," said the Minister for Economy and Work Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut on the occasion of the publication of the new figures on the labor market for Baden-Württemberg. In July 2021, the number of unemployed fell to 241,892 compared to June 2021 by 4,595 or minus 1.9 percent. "The number of unemployed is on a new low during the Corona crisis. This is good news and makes me optimistic. In order to prevent the risks through new virus variants, caution and compliance with the applicable measures are of course still required," the minister continues.

The unemployment rate can have a decline of 0.1 percentage points again compared to the previous month. At 3.8 percent in July 2021, it has been the best value since March 2020 (then 3.4 percent). Unemployment is currently almost 38,808 or 13.8 percent lower than in the same month. The demand for jobs is also at 94,414 at the highest level since November 2019. "The continued increase in the vacancy reports of the economy is a very positive sign. The increase within a year by just under 27,500 or 41.5 percent brings the pre -crisis level within reach," commented the minister.

Many open training positions for young people

In the youngsters under the age of 25, on the other hand, the number of unemployed rose by 1,486 people or by 7.9 percent compared to June 2021 (increase in quota from 2.7 to 2.9 percent). However, the increase is due to seasonal and mainly due to the end of school and vocational training in summer. "In view of the increasing need for labor, I am confident that the career prospects for young people will improve again by September. Since there are still many open apprenticeships, I encourage young people to take their chance of taking .sidebar { width: 300px; min-width:300px; position: sticky; top: 0; align-self: flex-start; } .contentwrapper { display: flex ; gap: 20px; overflow-wrap: anywhere; } @media (max-width:768px){ .contentwrapper { flex-direction: column; } .sidebar{display:none;} } .sidebar_sharing { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .sidebar_sharing a { background-color: #e6e6e6; padding: 5px 10px; margin: 0; font-size: .95rem; transform: none; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; color:#333; display: inline-flex; justify-content: space-between; } .sidebar_sharing a:hover { background-color: #333; color:#fff; } .sidebar_box { padding: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1); border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 20px; } a.social__item { color: black; } .translate-dropdown { background-color: #e6e6e6; padding: 5px 10px; margin: 0; font-size: .8em; transform: none; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; color: #333; margin-bottom: 8px; } .translate-dropdown { position: relative; display: inline-flex; align-items: center; width: 100%; justify-content: space-between; height: 36px; } .translate-dropdown label { margin-right: 10px; color: #000; font-size: .95rem; } .article-meta { gap:0 !important; } .author-label, .modified-label, .published-label, modified-label { font-weight: 300 !important; } .date_autor_sidebar { background-color: #e6e6e6; padding: 5px 10px; margin: 0; font-size: .8em; transform: none; border-radius: 5px; text-decoration: none; color: #333; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; margin-bottom: 8px; } .sidebar_autor { background: #333; border-radius: 4px; color: #fff; padding: 0px 5px; font-size: .95rem; } time.sidebar_time, .translateSelectlabel, sidebar_time { margin-top: 2px; color:#000; font-style:normal; font-size:.95rem; } .sidebar_updated_time { background-color: #e6e6e6; padding: 5px 10px; margin: 0; font-size: .8em; transform: none; border-radius: 5px; text-decoration: none; color: #333; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; margin-bottom: 8px; } time.sidebar_updated_time_inner { background: #333; border-radius: 4px; color: #fff;; padding: 2px 6px; } .translate-dropdown .translate { color: #fff; !important; background-color: #333; } .translate-dropdown .translate:hover { color: #fff; !important; background-color: #d32f2f !important; } .share-button svg, .translate-dropdown .translate svg { fill: #fff; } span.modified-label { margin-top: 2px; color: #000; font-size: .95rem; font-weight: normal !important; } .ad_sidebar{ padding:0; border: none; } .ad_leaderboard { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } .pdf_sidebar:hover { background: #d32f2f; } span.sidebar_time { font-size: .95rem; margin-top: 3px; color: #000; } table.wp-block-table { white-space: normal; } input {padding: 8px;width: 200px;border: 1px solid #ddd;border-radius: 5px;} .comments { margin-top: 30px; } .comments ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; } .comments li { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px 0; } .comment-form { margin-top: 15px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 10px; } .comment-form textarea { width: 100%; padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px;} .comment-form button { align-self: flex-start; background: #333; color:#fff; border:0; padding:8px 15px; border-radius:5px; cursor:pointer; } .comment-form button:hover { background: #d32f2f; }
