Fewer unemployed in bavaria – aigner sees “positive underlying mood

Thanks to the autumn upswing, the number of unemployed in bavaria fell in october. 242.494 people were registered as unemployed in the free state, that's 11.070 fewer than in september. The figures show a slight economic upturn, said ralf holtzwart, head of the regional directorate of the federal employment agency, in nurnberg on wednesday. "Young people in particular are benefiting from the positive trend."
The unemployment rate is 3.5 percent, 0.1 points lower than in the previous month. However, 11.026 more people out of work than in october 2012. At that time, the unemployment rate was 3.4 percent.

Demand for labor is rising in bavaria, registered the new economics minister ilse aigner (CSU). "This underscores the positive mood of entrepreneurs in the state and their optimistic expectations for 2014." entrepreneurs believe that the unemployment rate will continue to fall let's say: "given business-friendly conditions, i believe that a two before the decimal point is feasible in bavaria in the medium term", said bertram brossardt, executive vice president of the association of bavarian businesses.

Economic growth will increase significantly, predicted labor minister emilia muller (CSU). It is important to her that the conditions for employees and employers in bavaria are equally good. "We have to balance the legitimate interests of both sides for the overriding goal of securing employment under fair and at the same time competitive conditions."

The SPD in the state parliament focused on long-term unemployment: the proportion of long-term unemployed is "still too high and rigid", announced parliamentary group leader markus rinderspacher. Bavarian labor market policy must tackle the qualification of these people more vigorously. In addition, the social democrats want to push for a law according to which only companies that pay a minimum wage of 8.50 euros are eligible for public contracts. "The CSU can no longer hide behind the FDP. Wage dumping must not remain a state-legitimized business model in bavaria."
