researcher: german labor market shifts down a gear

For the summer, they still expect unemployment to fall and new jobs to be created, but at a subdued pace, according to the labor market monitor published by the institute for labor market and occupational research (IAB).

The labor market barometer, based on a survey of the heads of the 156 german employment agencies, fell for the second time in succession in may. It decreased slightly by 0.4 points to 104.1 payers. In april, the value had fallen by 0.9 points to 104.5 payers. The barometer scale ranges from 90 (very poor development) to 110 (very good development). He thus continues to indicate a positive climate.

IAB labor market researcher enzo weber attributes the employment agency heads’ cautious outlook to the recent somewhat slower growth of the german economy. "The economy has shifted down two gears, the labor market is shifting down at least one gear," weber explained. The number of unemployed in may presents the federal agency this wednesday in nurnberg.

He is known as a bullmaster, a sheep and fish farmer, and spends every possible minute outdoors. And he front for over 50 years of a rough passion, the hunt. "I shot my first wild boar at the age of 22 and since then i’ve been out and about in the surrounding areas. I know almost every tree in the area." Being on the high seat for hours at night is never boring, you can distinguish the individual sounds and trace the power of nature, he says. And when the hunting fever awakens, it is like a kick, the waiting for the event. He can’t even pay for the hunts anymore, not a week goes by without him being out on the prowl. His fellow hunters have given him credit for a sure eye and a steady hand, he says with pride. In the past, the night was often turned into day after the halali, nimrod remembers "now people have calmed down a bit". Not but what connects the travel with the hunt "there still burns desire to get to know new". Stocker points to his trophies: "I shot the chamois in slovenia, the deer in eastern poland, rabbits and pheasants in scotland, the wild sow in turkey and the mouflon in hungary.

Suddenly his eyes light up when he thinks of namibia. "I’ve already been there twice on safari, it’s unbelievable what there is to see. The most dangerous moment in his hunting life: in early southwest africa, an elan, the largest antelope at 17 hundredweight, raced past right next to him. "That was close, he remembers.
The "kniff", as his friends call him, but he also takes care of the game, sees it as a partner and not as an opponent. "I can hardly imagine a life without hunting", he says.
He recently bought a ferlacher, a handmade rifle from austria. "I don’t look at the euro." Tomorrow he will go out again, into the forest, he says in farewell.

With the "sundowner – cultural picnic" series of events in hochstadt’s wave outdoor pool the city was named one of the ten most innovative music venues in the region in corona times by the VR-bank erlangen hochstadt herzogenaurach. This is what susanne bayer from the city administration communicates.

On six sunday evenings in the summer, the cultural management of the town of hochstadt, under the direction of susanne bayer, offered live music at family-friendly prices in the unmistakably picturesque setting of hochstadt’s open-air wave pool (we reported). From classical music to vocal and wind ensembles to rock and party music, there was something for many tastes. Demand was correspondingly high, and four events were sold out long beforehand. One of the meetings, which had to be cancelled due to rain, was made up for. The organizing team proved that demanding musical performances are possible even under corona conditions.

This resourcefulness and commitment was recognized by the VR-bank erlangen hochstadt herzogenaurach with its music challenge award "we listen to the region, but with corona many things are different!".

In explaining the reasons for the visit, those responsible wrote: "corona has shown us all that so many things in life that seemed important to us are ultimately of secondary importance. The crisis has taught us what really counts in life: health, family, friends and joy. Corona has also shown us what we all sorely miss. Culture, music, events and, of course, the many artists and cultural workers who enrich our lives."
