Unemployment in the Wetteraukreis: increase in long -term unemployed!

On January 31, 2025, the current labor market statistics for the Wetteraukreis shows both positive and challenging trends. The number of citizens' places in the citizen decreased compared to the previous year, while the number of unemployment increases. This raises questions about the economic situation and the social framework in the region.

The Wetteraukreis currently records 16,216 citizen plants, which corresponds to an increase of 0.8 % compared to the previous month. In contrast, the number of recipients has dropped by 0.2 % compared to the previous year. A remarkable aspect is that among the 8,187 unemployed in the circle, 4,722 people, i.e. 57.7 %, receive civil allowance. At the same time, the number of unemployment rose by 6.8 % compared to the previous month and 8.0 % in the year.

unemployment rate and long -term unemployment

The unemployment rate in the Wetteraukreis is 4.7 %. This means an increase of 0.3 percentage points in comparison to the previous month and compared to the previous year. The proportion of long -term unemployed, which has also increased with 2,335 people and an increase of 3.1 %, is particularly worrying. Long -term unemployed make up 28.5 % of all unemployed.

The figures make it clear that young people under the age of 25 are affected with an unemployment rate of 5.0 %. The quota for over 55-year-olds is also relatively high at 4.9 %. These developments throw a light on the continuing difficulties of certain age groups on the labor market.

Profitability and social security

of the 11,119 citizen gowns in 11,119 are considered to be able to work. This shows that despite the decline in the number of recipients in the year, about every nineteenth citizen between the ages of 15 and 66 is still dependent on citizenship money. Compared to the previous month, the number of employable citizens' gates rose by 0.8 %, while an increase of 0.5 % has been recorded in the year.

The citizen benefit was referred to as unemployment benefit II or social benefit until the end of 2022. The increase in unemployed people who receive citizens' allowance by 4.4 % compared to the previous month indicates the need for political measures to reintegrate these people into the labor market.
