Unemployment in the Allgäu is increasing – agency concerned about current figures. The number of unemployed increased in January due to seasonal factors.

In the previous month, the unemployment rate in the region was 2.9 percent. Most of them are likely to be back in work soon, as skilled workers are known to be in high demand on the labor market. In recent years, more people in our region have only been unemployed during the pandemic in January 2021 - that of course worries us,” says Maria Amtmann.
