In the district of Erding, the number of unemployed rose slightly in December – by 30 to 1,622 people.

However, this had no impact on the rate.

Erding

– The regional job market was quite stable at the end of the year.

This is reported by the Freising Employment Agency, whose district includes the Freising, Erding, Dachau and Ebersberg districts.

In December, 8,395 people were registered as unemployed in the four districts, 170 more than in November.

The rate rose by 0.1 to 2.3 percent compared to the previous month.

By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Erding newsletter.

"The increase in unemployment in recent weeks has primarily affected employees in outdoor occupations that are heavily dependent on the weather," explains Nikolaus Windisch, head of the Freising Employment Agency.

“We were able to observe increased unemployment reports here in December.

So far, however, there has been no big rush.

To ensure that this stays that way, I would like to appeal to employers to take advantage of the opportunities offered by seasonal short-time work benefits this winter and thus avoid layoffs.”

The seasonal short-time allowance can be claimed by companies in the main construction trade, in the scaffolding and roofing trades as well as in gardening and landscaping.

"It helps companies to get through the difficult order situation and loss of work in the cold season without having to lay off their trained and qualified employees.

In this way, companies also minimize the risk – in times of a shortage of workers and skilled workers – of losing their tried-and-tested forces to other companies in the spring,” affirms Windisch.

Not only in the entire district, but also in the district of Erding, the number of unemployed rose slightly in December compared to the previous month - by 30 to 1622 people.

However, this had no effect on the unemployment rate: it was 1.9 percent, as in the previous month and also in December of the previous year.

According to the press release, the Erdinger companies reported 158 new job offers to the employer service of their employment agency at the end of the year, 45 fewer than in November.

This means that in December a total of 1138 jobs reported to the Erding Employment Agency were vacant, and at the end of the year there were a total of 6493 job offers in the Freising Employment Agency's job pool.

Looking at the entire past year 2022, an average of 1704 men and women from the district of Erding were registered as unemployed (2021: 2059 people, 2020: 2082 people, 2019: 1494 people).

According to the press release, the annual average unemployment rate was 2.0 percent (2021: 2.4 percent, 2020: 2.5 percent, 2019: 1.8 percent).

Over the course of the year, companies reported to the employment agency that there were a total of 2,459 new vacancies in the Erding district.

On average over the year there were 1104 job offers in the job pool of the employment agency (2021: 814 jobs, 2020: 722 jobs, 2019: 836 jobs).
