Hamburg / Kiel (dpa / lno) - Also because of the corona pandemic, many people in the north are still on short-time work.
In the Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg region, the figure is 6.5 percent or 132,000 people, according to a survey by the Munich Ifo Institute published on Monday.
This means that the north is in the upper midfield.
According to the evaluation, Hesse is the state with the largest proportion of short-time workers.
In December, an estimated 7.4 percent of employees subject to social security contributions or 196,000 people were on short-time work there.
Baden-Württemberg, Lower Saxony and Bremen follow.
“As before, countries with a higher proportion of industry are somewhat more affected by short-time working.
Due to the recovery in the industry, these differences have become much smaller in recent months, ”said Ifo labor market expert Sebastian Link according to the announcement.
According to the institute, the results are based on reports from around 7,000 companies who were asked about the current use of short-time working in the monthly Ifo business survey in December.
