Autumn labor market revival: fewer unemployed people in Lübeck!
The labor market situation changed noticeably in October 2025. Loud hier-luebeck.de The autumn recovery means that unemployment has fallen to its lowest level of the year. With 14,610 people registered as unemployed in the agency district - 194 fewer than in the previous month, but 96 more than in the previous year - the rate remained at 6.4%, which corresponds to a stable situation.
The high demand for skilled workers in many areas is proving to be a positive trend. Women in particular are in demand in the world of work, as they are still often limited in their employment by family and care responsibilities. The employment agency will therefore rely on targeted support from equal opportunities officers in the future.
Action week for women
The #WOMEN #CHANCES #WIEDEREINSTIEG campaign week will take place from November 17th to 21st, a program that includes digital lectures and face-to-face workshops for professional orientation. The events cover aspects such as life work planning, communication training and the integration of AI in the job in order to specifically support women in their careers.
A special highlight will be the face-to-face event on November 19th on application trends in the Lübeck BiZ. “It is important to offer women the support they need to get into leadership positions,” emphasizes the employment agency and emphasizes that training and further education offers as well as flexible working models are of great importance.
Regional overview
A regional comparison shows that unemployment varies particularly in Lübeck (8.2%), Ostholstein (4.4%) and other districts. While the number of unemployed people in Lübeck fell slightly to 9,829, unemployment in Ostholstein remained stable, indicating some regional strength. In total, there were 674 new positions offered in October, with around three quarters intended for skilled workers.
The increasing underemployment, the increase in employment subject to social security contributions to 169,649, and the growing number of jobs for migrant women reflect the needs that currently exist in the region. What is striking is that the 1.9% increase in part-time employment to 60,207 highlights the challenges of gender equality in the labor market.
Women in the labor market
The role of women in the labor market has grown enormously over the last 25 years. With an employment rate of over 77% by 2023 and a part-time rate of almost 50%, the focus is on combating the gender pay gap. Loud Statista On average, full-time working women only earn around 4,000 euros compared to the 4,700 euros that men receive. These inequalities are primarily caused by different career and industry choices.
The initiatives to promote equality for women in the labor market are therefore particularly important. Women want more support with childcare and flexible working arrangements in order to be able to take on management responsibility. These changes are urgently needed in sectors such as healthcare, where women make up a high proportion of employees.
Overall, it can be said that the job market in Cologne and the surrounding area is changing. While unemployment stabilizes, there is still a need for action for women and other disadvantaged groups to promote equal opportunities and fair working conditions.
