Economy in Austria: Companies hope for improvement
158
Austria has new hope for the economy. Many companies look at the future again. The 'Wirtschafts-Barometer' shows this. This is a survey about the mood of companies. Every 5th company expects more orders. Many firms expect more money from sales. The trade and the crafts look forward. Only the building industry is still in trouble.
There is one big problem. Firms find few new workers. 9 of 10 firms search in vain for staff. The skills of the people do not fit. This is a 'Mismatch'. A 'Mismatch' means: The job needs other skills. Many jobs remain open. Some firms save money and cut jobs. In Vienna there are fewer new jobs.
There is news about trading with other countries. In 2025 many states sold less goods. This is called 'Export'. They bought more goods from other countries. 'Ober-Österreich' sells the most goods. Important goods are machines and chemicals. Germany is the main partner for trade.
