Unemployment figures in Flensburg are falling – North Frisia is severely affected!

In the far north of Schleswig-Holstein, some trends on the labor market will emerge again in November 2025. While the nationwide unemployment figures have fallen slightly, the situation is somewhat different in the northern Schleswig regions.

In Flensburg, for example, unemployment has fallen by around 60 people, making a total of 4,420 unemployed people. The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 8.2 percent, although there is an increase compared to the previous year. However, the picture in North Friesland looks less encouraging: Here the number of unemployed people has risen by over 400 people to around 4,800. This is largely due to seasonal effects. With an unemployment rate of 5.1 percent, there is almost no change year-on-year ndr reported.

Schleswig-Flensburg in view

In the Schleswig-Flensburg district, a good 6,100 people are unemployed, which represents a slight decrease compared to the previous month. However, a noticeable increase was also recorded here compared to the previous year. The unemployment rate is stable at 5.6 percent. The current development raises questions: What will the situation and prospects for job seekers look like in the coming months?

The total of 15,358 unemployed people in northern Schleswig-Holstein are looking at a catastrophic development, as this is around 300 more than in October. This increase comes at a time when the rest of the country is experiencing a decrease. The regional statistics also do not go unnoticed. The Statistics Service of the Federal Employment Agency offers comprehensive insights into these developments.

Future outlook

Where is the job market headed in winter? According to the [BMAS](https://www.bmas.de/DE/Service/Statistiken-Open-Data/Arbeitsmarkt Statistics/arbeitsmarktstatisticen.html), it is often traditionally more difficult to create new jobs in the cold season. The number of seasonal unemployed people could continue to rise, especially if the economy does not perform as expected and most job openings disappear seasonally. Particular attention should also be paid to the training market, which will offer many people an opportunity to enter the workforce in the coming year.

While one region is breathing a sigh of relief, the other is struggling with increasing pressure. The coming weeks will be crucial to see whether developments stabilize or whether further measures are necessary to curb unemployment. Stay tuned for latest updates!
