Job perspectives for foreigners in Austria
Once you have managed to get the required permits, the hardest part is over. The economic situation in Austria is relatively healthy and it is therefore possible to find a good job within a reasonable time.
The official unemployment rate in 2004 was 7.1%, placing Austria among the countries with the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union. As several new Central and Eastern European countries joined the EU in May 2004, a long-term effect on the job market is expected as highly qualified personnel will be able to access the Austrian job market. However, until 2006 several bilateral agreements limit the options for the citizens of the ‘new countries’.
The kind of job you are searching and where you want to work and live in Austria will affect your chances. In general the better your education and work experience the better your chances.
