Jobless rate in January primarily driven by seasonal factors
In the heart of Germany, the city of Pforzheim has seen a significant improvement in its unemployment rate over the past few years. According to data released today, the unemployment rate in January 2018 stood at 6.4%, a notable decrease from 7.6% in 2016 and a further improvement from 6.8% in 2017.
This positive trend can be attributed to several factors. The expiration of many temporary contracts, the end of quarterly notice periods, and the cold weather are some of the reasons contributing to the increase in unemployment rate in January 2018, compared to the previous month. However, it's important to note that the unemployment rate is primarily influenced by seasonal factors.
Despite this increase, the Pforzheim branch of the Federal Employment Agency predicts a significant recovery in the labor market in the spring, driven by positive economic indicators. As of now, there are 946 job vacancies in Pforzheim, an increase of 43 compared to the previous month.
