The employment agency in Hamm recently published the unemployment figures that indicate an increase during the summer vacation. This trend could not only influence the employees concerned, but also the local labor market and the economy.

How the summer holidays influence the labor market in Hamm

In the summer vacation, there are significant effects on the labor market, as the latest reports from the employment agency show. In July, the number of unemployed in Hamm rose by 1.3 percent to a total of 8,250 people. This results in an unemployment rate of 8.6 percent. Interestingly, this increase is lower than in the national average, which indicates that Hamm is better off compared to other regions.

Special challenges for young people

A remarkable aspect of this development is the rising unemployment figures among the under 25 years of hammering. This age group currently has greater challenges than in June. However, Thomas Helm, head of the Hamm Employment Agency, is confident that the situation will relax after the holidays. Numerous job offers are available for young people who have completed an apprenticeship. This could give hope that the labor market situation will improve soon.

A review of the short -time work in Hamm

In addition to the employment situation in the summer vacation, there is also a decline in short -time work in the region. In June, only eleven new ads for short -time work were submitted to the agency, which is a significant decline compared to the past years that were characterized by pandemic. This could indicate that the industries concerned, such as construction and craft, are gradually recovering. Nevertheless, it remains important to observe the course of short -time work, since the actual use is often only visible with delay.

The future of the labor market in Hamm

The signs indicate that after the vacation time a positive turn could be in the job market. Helm emphasizes that qualified specialists have a particularly good chance of finding a job. With the upcoming end of the summer vacation, the labor market in Hamm will get back to motion and many younger people could benefit from the vacancies in the skilled worker area.

Overall, these developments reflect a phase of change on the labor market in Hamm. It remains to be seen how the situation for employment will develop after the summer vacation, but the signs tend to be cheap, especially for the young hammer who are in a promising position after completing the apprenticeship.
