Long -term unemployment in the Nordkreis Osnabrück increased again for the first time

Long -term unemployment in the Nordkreis Osnabrück increased again for the first time

in the Nordkreis Osnabrück, the numbers of unemployment remain surprisingly stable compared to the previous month. The official statistics recorded 2,622 unemployed in August, which means an increase of only six people compared to July. This leads to an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, which has risen slightly in the previous year - it was 3.9 percent last year.

The increase in long -term unemployment is particularly striking. In the reports of the employment agency, an increase in long -term unemployed is determined. In August, 1,414 people were registered as unemployed in the "Conditional work" job center, which corresponds to an increase of 28 people compared to the previous month. In contrast, the number of unemployed people at the employment agency itself fell by 21 to 1,210.

Ferienzeit affects the job market

Lars Hellmers, board member of custom work, connects the stagnating numbers with the holiday season, which usually means less movement on the labor market. "As usual in the holiday months, there is little movement," said Hellmers. This observation is also shared by Christiane Fern, the chairman of the management of the Osnabrück employment agency. She points out that the summer holidays only ended on August 3, and that there were therefore no significant declines in the unemployment figures.

However, the development provides cause, in particular the long -term unemployment and the demand for workers. In August, employers in the northern district reported only 60 new jobs, a decline of 29 compared to July and 97 less than in August of the previous year. Overall, the number of open spots decreases, which has a negative impact on the chances of the unemployed.

Data for training and their importance

In the field of training, there is an interesting statistics. In the Bersenbrück region, 477 applicants for training positions have registered since the beginning of the year - a slight decline compared to the previous year with 480.

At the same time, the number of reported training positions has dropped significantly: from 578 to 514, that is 64 less. Of these 514 apprenticeships, 110 are currently not occupied, which is a reduction by 48 compared to the previous year, but also emphasizes the need to create more training opportunities to meet the need for qualified forces.

The challenges in the training area are also reflected in the number of unversored applicants: In August there were 38 applicants regarding unavailed, that is 13 more than in August 2023.

Overall, the situation in the Nordkreis Osnabrück shows how fragile the labor market is and how much it depends on seasonal influences and the general economic situation. With the end of the summer holidays, many hope to revitalize the employment opportunities.

Buying blows In the course of the year, the creation of training positions could become a central topic in order to make future developments more cheaply on the labor market and to meet both the requirements of companies and the needs of job seekers.
