Unemployment in Remscheid is increasing: 4959 affected people in October!

in October 2023, 4,959 people were registered unemployed in Remscheid, an increase of 33 compared to the previous month and 332 more than in the previous year. The unemployment rate is now 8.2 percent compared to 7.7 percent in October 2022. While unemployment is increasing in Remscheid, the city triangle from Remscheid, Solingen and Wuppertal is recorded by 880 unemployed, with an overall quota of 8.8 percent.

Martin Klebe, head of the Solingen-Wuppertal Employment Agency, sees the seasonal effects as the main cause of the decline in the region. In October, training contracts are often concluded, which relieves the labor market at short notice. Nevertheless, there are no signs of sustainable improvement, since the number of open spots continues to drop compared to the previous year, such as www.rga.de reported.
