Catchment area and commuter flows
|
| |
Nuremberg's catchment area for labor extends far beyond the city
limits. The city exercises a centrality function for the entire
North Bavarian region and for southern parts of Thuringia and Saxony.
More than 127,000 people commute to Nuremberg for their daily work.
Around 85 % of the commuters live in the surrounding towns and rural
districts, approx. 15 % commute from the rest of Germany. The remaining
commuters total 94,500.

that especially the company-related services were the key area of
potential new employment.

all job specifications. The long tradition of craft trades and industry
has encouraged the growth of a sound foundation of technical and
managerial know-how at the skilled worker and technician level.

Wage and salary level
|
| |
The HR consulting company PersonalMarkt examined the salary levels
in the various regions of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2006.
These studies show that the salary level in Nuremberg is in the
middle range compared with the German average. Of the large cities
in Southern Germany, however, Nuremberg has by far the cheapest
labor costs.

Labor market potential
|
| |
The labor market potential at the Nuremberg location is based on
a large catchment area. Figures for the whole Nuremberg labor market
district are therefore included in the calculation. The Nuremberg
labor office district is one of the five largest in the Federal
Republic of Germany and covers a total area of some 2,235 km².
This includes the autonomous towns of Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen
and Schwabach and the rural districts of Nuremberg Land, Fürth,
Erlangen-Höchstadt and 20 % of the rural district of Roth:

Because of the intensive commuter interdependence with the surrounding
towns and communities, it is more informative to use the data of
the complete labor office district instead of the pure urban districts
for labor market comparisons. A comparison with the unemployment
data of other conurbations shows that most of the city regions have
comparable or greater labor market problems than Nuremberg. Whereas
Nuremberg tends to be ascribed to the problem zones on a Bavarian-wide
comparison, the economic region regularly occupies a very good position
in national comparisons. Only the city districts of Munich, Frankfurt
and Stuttgart have lower average annual unemployment rates.
