The City of Vienna—with around 67,000 employees—is responding to demographic change and the associated shortage of skilled workers with a comprehensive personnel offensive. Since March 2023, measures such as increased advertising and job fairs have been taken to attract new employees in a targeted manner. These initiatives led to a 40 percent increase in applications in 2023, as reported by ORF. An average of around 7,900 applications were received for around 500 advertised positions each month.
In 2023, 6,052 people joined the municipal service, exceeding the number of people leaving. The city should, therefore, be prepared for demographic change due to the retirement of the baby boomers. The main areas of new recruitment relate to care, nurseries, and administration. These areas continue to have the greatest need for staff, with around 20,000 positions to be filled by 2030.
