Number of unemployed goes down – Breisach

In Breisach, Ihringen, Vogtsburg.

The number of unemployed in Breisach Ihringen and Vogtsburg fell in July. This emerges from the report by the Employment Agency.

In Breisach, 318 people were unemployed in July, 7 (2.2 percent) fewer than in June and 87 (21.5 percent) fewer than a year ago. The number of vacancies in Münsterstadt increased by 23 compared to the previous month and by 50 compared to July 2020 to 118.

There are 102 unemployed registered in Ihringen, 6 (5.6 percent) fewer than in the previous month and 25 (19.7 percent) fewer than in July 2020. There are 61 vacancies in Ihringen, that is 10 more than 4 weeks ago, but 76 less than a year ago.

In Vogtsburg, 60 people are looking for a job, 8 (11.8 percent) fewer than in June and 33 (35.5 percent) fewer than a year ago. There are 29 vacancies, 10 fewer than four weeks ago and 2 fewer than a year ago.

Overall, the number of unemployed in the district of the Freiburg Employment Agency fell for the sixth time in a row in July. As of the reporting date, a total of 14 031 women and men were unemployed in Freiburg and the districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald and Emmendingen. That is 337 people fewer than a month earlier. The unemployment rate fell by 0.1 points to 3.7 percent. Youth unemployment, on the other hand, rose by 0.3 points to 2.6 percent, which is typical for July.

“Fewer unemployed in July. We did not expect that. I am all the more pleased about it,” said Andreas Finke, CEO of the Freiburg Employment Agency, on the current development on the labor market. Usually in July it is mainly young women and men who start voluntary service or study after the holidays or who are not taken on after their training, who register temporarily as unemployed. That was also the case this year, but to the surprise of many, it did not lead to an increase in unemployment. “The spring swing is now catching up with a delay, which the measures to contain the corona pandemic in March and April had prevented,” says Finke.
