district of Wesel.
At the end of 2022, the employment agency in the Wesel district counted more unemployed than in the previous year. Now she presented the numbers.
At the end of the year, unemployment in the district of Wesel rose slightly, according to the employment agency. There are seasonal reasons for this: layoffs and expiring employment contracts at the end of the year have an impact, as do weather-related restrictions on outside occupations and company closures at the turn of the year with few new hires, according to the agency. “Even though many companies are currently driving on sight due to the uncertain situation, there is still a need for workers and skilled workers. We therefore look at the existing experience and qualifications of people who register as unemployed and encourage further training if necessary,” says Dominik Blechschmidt, Managing Director of the Wesel Employment Agency. This is all the more important if you don’t have a professional qualification yet.
The numbers are slightly worse than last year
15,298 women and men were registered as unemployed in the Wesel district in December. That is 128 or 0.8 percent more than a month earlier. Compared to the previous year, there are 1007 unemployed or seven percent more. Compared to the previous month, the unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points to 6.3 percent (previous year 5.9). In the area of unemployment insurance (Employment Agency, SGB III), unemployment increased by 84 people or two percent to 4304 compared to the previous month. Compared to the same month last year, 134 people, ie 3.2 percent more, were registered as unemployed.
In the area of basic security (job center, SGB II), 10,994 unemployed, employable people in need of help are currently being cared for. That is 44 or 0.4 percent more than in the previous month and 873 or 8.6 percent more than in December 2021. In December 907 people (previous month: 933) with Ukrainian nationality were registered as unemployed in the Wesel district.
