Stable job market in Miesbach: Skilled workers wanted, but fewer jobs!
What’s new in the region’s job market? The labor market in the Bad Tölz and Miesbach districts is currently stable, but less dynamic than last year. Loud Mercury The unemployment rate in the agency district is 3.0 percent. Interestingly, the Miesbach district has a rate of 2.8 percent, which corresponds to an increase of 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous year. Whereas the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen region has the lowest rate at 2.3 percent, although it also recorded an increase of 0.1 percentage points.
The figures show a slight decrease in unemployment compared to the previous month, but there is still a continuous increase over the last two years. The economic weakness is particularly noticeable. Sectors such as manufacturing, construction and trade are affected. Companies seem to be creative and are retaining staff, but filling vacant positions is rather slow.
Skilled labor shortage and immigration
There are currently 897 vacancies in the agency district, which is 387 fewer than last year. However, the need for skilled workers remains unbroken - especially in the IT sector, in administration, in healthcare and in social professions. The catering and nursing sectors are also knocking on many people's doors as they are desperately looking for qualified staff.
A look at immigration is also of interest. Loud Employment agency statistics Immigration from abroad is considered necessary to combat the shortage of skilled workers. Registered unemployment, employment and SGB II assistance rates provide information about the integration of immigrants into the labor market. While the unemployment rate for foreigners was 13.9 percent in December 2022, the integration of foreign skilled workers into the labor market is often a lengthy process, especially for people with a refugee background.
Support for older people and young people
If you look at the population structure, it becomes clear that a third of employment agency customers are over 55 years old, which presents them with particular challenges when looking for a job. Employers are therefore encouraged to actively invite older applicants and involve them in personal discussions. At the same time, young people in the region have good chances of obtaining training positions because skilled workers are sought after and apprenticeships are available.
The immigration trend from non-EU countries is also pointing upwards. Destatis notes that some of these workers are academic specialists who come to Germany through the Blue Card. Between 2012 and 2022, almost 200,000 workers qualified for Germany received such a card, which impressively illustrates the focus on the shortage of skilled workers.
Overall, it can be seen in Bavaria that the labor market is stable, but is under pressure. Immigration could be the key to overcoming the challenges in the labor market.
