In view of the national economic development, the city of Vienna also has difficulty struggling on the labor market. Most recently, an increase in unemployment was recorded by 4.6 percent annual in July. The unemployment rate of 11.1 percent is outstanding in federal state comparison. On Monday, Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) also pointed out that the Viennese labor market is faced with “major challenges” during a background discussion in the town hall. However, one must also take into account here that the Vienna labor market is responsible for the entire Eastern region, he said. The task extends far beyond the federal federal borders in Vienna.
