“The unemployment rate rose to 2.8% from 2.6% in November. The rate usually rises in the winter months, as construction sites, for example, come to a standstill”
Still under 3% which is really normal for CH.
However, this doesn’t count people working let’s say 20% only (not because they want, but they can’t find anything else).
yes noticed that also
I find this indicator such a bullshit. People loosing their jobs in Switzerland, are forced to move out. Those people are not accounted as unemployed cause they left the country.
Hence, unemployment rate indicator is so much compromised.
The job market is shit thats a reason
Wild comment section for an article that says “Business as usual”
To be honest, there have not been so many open positions in a good number of years in my sector. (Aerospace and manufacturing)
This data is not reflective of reality. It’s just the number of people currently receving money form RAV.
If someone has lost or never had access to RAV money (which happens after 2 years you are getting it), they are not part of this statistics. Current unemployement mesured by normal standards (ILO), which mean all the people who are looking for work and immediatly available, currently stand around 5%: “These unemployed persons represented 4.7% of the economically active population” [https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/work-income/unemployment-underemployment/ilo-unemployed.html](https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/work-income/unemployment-underemployment/ilo-unemployed.html)
For comparison germany has 3,3 %
I competed with 100 other applicants on some jobs with 60%+ of applicants being Germans and other 30% other nationals and maybe 3-5 Swiss in 24. In the past(up until 21/22) it was maybe 5-10 people for a job where the breakdown looked like 3 Swiss guys, 3 Germans and 2 others. The economic downturn of Europe/Germany will further increaee the pressure and everyone and their spouse comming here which will further prop up the housing shortage and the job shortage. The market is pretty much not sustaining the amount of people looking for jobs outside of hihgly skilled specialists and low skilled labor jobs in my opinion. We all just get fucked over by the housing/renting increases and other problems with a 9++ million Switzerland though as the growth just can’t continue like this withouth these consequences. Ofcourse property owning people and company owning people like it a lot, as they profit in keeping wages down and increasing real estate prices. The unemployment will further increase with what I saw in this 24 job market, which was crazy competitive with an amount of europeans trying to break into ths market I have not seen before. If I wasn’t myself a no lifer with grinding the whole weekends and holidays learning and educating myself further and beeing a top tier applicant and also taking a lower salary, I would be unemployed now. So I ask myself how people with a life or familly have a chance outcompeting, 10s or 100s on those jobs.
