Unemployment in Saxony-Anhalt: easy decline, dark forecasts!

Mansfeld-Südharz, Deutschland - In June 2025, the labor market situation in Saxony-Anhalt caused mixed feelings. According to Mansfeld-Südharz, on the other hand, the number of unemployed fell slightly by 0.1 percent.

regional differences and challenges

The regional differences in terms of unemployment rates are particularly striking. In Mansfeld-Südharz and Halle, the odds rise to 10 percent each, while the Börde district has 5.6 percent the lowest quota. In April 2023, the number of employees subject to social security saw a decline to around 790,600, which means 200 less than in March and around 6,700 fewer than in the previous year. This stirs up the worries about the long -term stability of employment in the state.

Behrens said that he did not expect a quick recovery of employment and even assumes a further decline in the coming months. While employment in the areas of social affairs, culture, cleaning and health care grew, trade and security industry show significant declines. Recent data for employment are currently not available.

long -term unemployed and young people in the crisis

The challenges on the labor market affect not only overall employment, but also specific groups. Compared to the previous year, Saxony-Anhalt recorded an increase in the long-term unemployed in July 2024, which were over a year without work. Around 32,300 people are affected by 37.7 percent of the unemployed. In addition, almost 9,000 young adults under the age of 25 are unemployed, which is an increase of 1,200 since the previous month.

The new situation demands quick action from regional actors. Employers reported 3,400 new jobs, but this is only an increase of only 200 compared to June 2024. This illustrates how important measures are to strengthen the labor market in Saxony-Anhalt.

Overall, there is a clear message: to improve wages and working conditions as well as targeted programs for young people and long -term unemployed are the key to defuse the current situation and create perspectives for the future. The dynamic development of the labor market in the state remains a hot iron and a topic that affects all of us.
