The stock market in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is set to remain steady in 2025, despite minor shifts in employment and unemployment. Officials predict a slight drop in both figures, with targeted measures introduced to support vulnerable job seekers. A new pilot scheme in Schwerin will focus on young people facing long-term unemployment or lacking vocational skills.

The region’s average unemployment rate stood at 7.9% in 2024. For 2025, Markus Biercher, head of the Federal Employment Agency’s North directorate, expects a modest decrease compared to last year. However, employment numbers may also dip slightly due to demographic trends.

To address persistent challenges, authorities will intensify support for young people under 25 who are long-term unemployed or untrained. A pilot program in Schwerin has now launched to help integrate these groups into the workforce. Those who fail to engage with the initiative could face penalties. Despite these adjustments, the overall stock market is projected to stay stable. Employment agencies across northeastern Germany share similar expectations, foreseeing only minor fluctuations in the coming year.

The new measures aim to reduce youth unemployment and improve training opportunities. With a slight decline in both joblessness and employment, the region’s stock market is expected to hold firm. Officials will monitor the Schwerin pilot closely to assess its impact on long-term job seekers.
