The Government’s best move to provide jobs for the unemployed in Austria

 

Vienna-The Austrian federal government wants to bring the long-term unemployed back to work. The government is investing 400 million euros in the project.

 

 One and a half million people in Austria have been unemployed for more than a year. The "Action Spring Board" project launched by the federal government will begin today. It aims to bring one-third of the long-term unemployed back to the labor market. It's primarily about the elderly unemployed and those who were unemployed before the Corona Crisis.

 

The resources of the Public Employment Service AMS will be increased in the summer. Affected individuals begin with a three-month working training course. As part of the program, the government supports companies that hire long-term unemployed people. Up to 67% wage subsidy will be given for 12 months. The average integration aid must increase by up to 50%. By the end of the year, 15,000 people should be able to find work again, and by the end of next year, it should be 50,000. In total, the government is spending 400 million euros on the project.
