In August, more people have no job in Austria. Exactly 375730 people are at the AMS. This is 2 percent more than last year. The jobless rate is 7 percent now.
Men and women have different numbers. The number for men goes down a bit. But the number for women goes up a lot. This happens in jobs for health and shops. Many women work there.
Another reason is the older pension age for women. They must work longer now. In Vienna, jobless people go down a bit. In states like Lower Austria, the number goes up. There are also fewer jobs for learners.
