Bremen labor market at ten -year high: What does that mean for the future?
Bremen labor market at ten -year high: What does that mean for the future?
Bremen, Deutschland - The job market in Bremen and Bremerhaven is currently not very dynamic. As the Weser Report , the unemployment figures with 45,398 people are on a ten-year high. In June there was a minimal decline of 0.1 percent compared to May, but this can only reduce the increase of 2,542 people compared to the same month.
34,287 people are currently registered unemployed in Bremen. Here too there is a small decline of 37 people or -0.1 percent in June. Compared to June 2024, however, 2,490 people are more unemployed, which corresponds to an increase of 7.8 percent. The unemployment rate is currently 10.9 percent and is therefore slightly below the value of 11.0 percent of the previous month, but over the 10.2 percent of the previous year.
job offer and industry development
The number of vacancies has reduced to 7,428 -a decline by 19 positions or -0.3 percent compared to the previous month. Particularly noticeable is the significantly sunken job population compared to the same month last year, which costs 1,324 positions or -15.1 percent. It is possible that the requirements for applicants tighten, because demand has increased in particular in the areas of processing, temporary work as well as scientific and technical services as well as in health and social affairs. A slight increase in demand from the construction industry was also found.
The development on the labor market was described by Joachim Ossmann, the chairman of the management of the Bremen-Bremerhaven Employment Agency, as a result of a difficult economic situation. The numbers confirm this assessment and draw an idea of a market that is difficult to react to the challenges.
Annual overview and further developments
Youth unemployment also remains an issue, with 3,569 young people who were without a job between the ages of 15 and 24 - an increase of 1.5 percent. Especially for the unemployed in Bremerhaven, a high rate of 14.1 percent must be taken into account, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous year.
The additional numbers also show increasing unemployment among women and foreigners. The latter recorded an increase of 10.2 percent. Employees with disabilities are also affected, here 1,630 people are unemployed, which corresponds to an increase of 2.8 percent.
A challenging picture is emerging for the future. Due to international uncertainties, such as the Ukraine and Gaza War, and the high number of resting stands, the shortage of skilled workers could increase. Here a clear focus on the qualification and promotion of professional qualifications will have to be placed.
