Uckermark: Labor market shows stability - hopes for improvement!

Uckermark, Deutschland - The Situation on the job market in the Uckermark is currently mixed. According to a report by Nordkurier , the offers are stable or show a slight increase. This refers to the latest data published in December 2024. There are currently 93,529 employees in the region subject to social security contributions - a maximum value since 1999, while the low was 76,034 employees in 2005.

However, there are also factors that could cloud the positive development. The decommissioning of production at Aleo Solar AG and the bankruptcy of H. Krause GmbH & Co.KG could soon have negative effects on the labor market. There are also uncertainties at PCK AG. Termination periods are still running, which complicates the situation.

Compared to May, 60 unemployed are less, but there are 268 more in the year that raises the quota to 11.3%.

The average unemployment rate in the Eberswalde agency district is 7.6%, which is above the Brandenburg national average of 6.3%.
