According to current reports from Current4U are 128,800 people without work, which means an increase of 8,400 people or 7.0 %. This development is worrying because the Situation has also deteriorated compared to the previous year, and the number of unemployed rose by 7,600 people or 6.3 %
The unemployment rate was 5.6 % in January 2025 after it was 5.3 % in December 2024 and 5.4 % in January 2024. This indicates a trendy increase in unemployment. Heidrun Schulz, the head of the regional directorate of the Federal Employment Agency, expressed that the demand for workers remains weak and the chances of new employment relationships decrease.

The employment subject to social security in Rhineland-Palatinate was around 1.493 million people in August 2024, which corresponds to an increase of 0.3 % compared to the previous year.
