It sounds paradoxical: although unemployment is rising and staff are being cut in many places, some sectors are still desperately looking for staff. No one needs to have a degree or years of training behind them. Where to find a job quickly.

Unemployment figures are rising. Vienna is particularly affected. Unemployment in Vienna stood at 11.2 percent in the previous month, well above the Austrian average of 6.6 percent. At the end of September, the unemployment rate was therefore at the same level as in 2019, i.e. before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, both of which had a significant impact on the economy.
