This is the lowest unemployment rate among the agency districts in Baden-Württemberg. In the previous year, the rate was 2.4 per cent. The average unemployment rate in the state was 4.2 per cent in November, 0.1 percentage points less than in the previous month and 1.1 more than in the previous year. Unemployment fell by 2.7 per cent.
In the district of Neu-Ulm the unemployment rate is constant – here it is currently 2.7 per cent.
Broadly positioned and less prone to crisis
The medium-sized economy in the innovation region of Ulm has a broad base and is therefore less prone to crises. The region is one of the leading locations for pharmacy and biotechnology in Germany. In the area of transport and logistics, the Ulm / Neu-Ulm area is one of the largest growth regions. Other strengths lie in the areas of metal production and processing as well as in commercial vehicle and mechanical engineering.
According to an expert opinion by the chair of Professor Rürup on behalf of the Ulm Chamber of Commerce, the region will have a very high need for workers by 2020: 50,000 skilled workers and 10,000 academics will then be needed.
