The hardest it has caught Troisdorf: Here recorded by the Agency for work in this March 37.3 percent more than in recipients of unemployment I-March 2008. But Windeck (35.1 percent), Eitorf (26.2 percent), Siegburg (22.2 percent) and St. Augustine (21.9 percent recorded) dramatically increases. By contrast, the increase in Bonn (8.8 percent) affects almost harmless.
"Above all, companies in the automotive industry, suppliers, machine manufacturers and carriers are affected by the economic crisis," said Paul Moser, spokesman of the Bonn Employment Agency: "In March alone, some 200 companies for nearly 5,000 short-staff displayed."
Most of them are in the right bank of the Rhine-Sieg-Kreis concentrated. Even really successful companies such as Mannstaedt, the world's leading manufacturer of hot rolled special profiles, come to a roll: Since January is kurzgearbeitet.
