rising unemployment in the district of Gotha

The current unemployment figures in the Gotha district are worrying. In July 2024, 4690 people were unemployed, which corresponds to an increase of 156 people compared to the previous month. The unemployment rate is now 6.5 percent, which is an increase of 0.3 percentage points. This is particularly alarming because the value was 5.5 percent in the previous year.

The agency for work Thuringia Mitte emphasizes, however, that many companies continue to look for employees. In summer, 179 new jobs were reported, especially in the catering, trade and technical professions. The situation demands creative ways from the young people in the Gotha area to secure training positions, especially since numerous places in professions such as sellers, mechatronics and specialist warehouse clerk are still vacant.

cultural highlights in the region

From August 2 to 4, castle parking tours take place in Reinhardsbrunn, while brewery tours are offered in the smallest brewery in West Thuringia every Tuesday and Friday. On August 3, a spa concert in the Friedrichroda spa park will be held, in which Svend Walter will appear as "the Wintersteiner".
