There are figures from the labor market service in Linz that give hope. Although 23,300 people were still unemployed in Linz, it shows that there were not only 30,000 unemployed in the state capital in the first quarter of last year, but similar numbers in 2017 (31,469) and 2018 (28-047). were recorded.
Mayor Klaus Luger (SP) deduces from this that “the labor market situation could apparently be advanced by the crisis”. “According to current data, the long-term unemployment curve is also moving downwards again,” says Luger. With actions like “Job-Restart” you could also achieve positive effects. We want to follow this trend.
The comparison of the first quarter in 2021 shows a significant decrease in this number with 32,921 unemployed (men: 19,466; women: 13,455). In 2022, the labor market service counted exactly 23,317 (men: 13,749; women: 9,568) from the beginning of the year to the end of March.
