Economic structure Agriculture and industry play an above-average role in the economy of the region South-West-Styria. However the economic structure changed considerably during the last years towards a more service-oriented economy (Diagram 4, Tab.7). Some parts of the region focus on the development of tourism (e.g. “Südsteirsches Weinland”). The economic centres of the region are Deutschlandsberg (~ 7000 jobs), Leibnitz (~ 5000 jobs), Voitsberg (~ 4600 jobs) and Köflach (~ 3500 jobs). Further important employers are located in the municipalities of Eibiswald, Groß Sankt Florian, Kaindorf an der Sulm, Frauental an der Laßnitz, Straß, Lebring, Stainz, Wagna and Lannach (each municipality offering more than 1000 jobs). The economic structure of the district of Voitsberg is still being dominated by its industrial and mining tradition. Although it is also changing graduatly towards a less industrially oriented economy, the district of Voitsberg is still a leading industrial location in Styria. In all three districts, the building sector and the automobile industry (Auto-Cluster Styria, ACStyria) are very important and offer the most jobs of the secondary sector. 80.000 70.000 60.000 50.000 40.000 30.000 20.000 10.000 8 0 1995 2000 2007 Diagram 4: Development of workforce by sectors 1995- 2007 (Statistik Austria) 1995-2000 2000-2007 Primary sector -16,48% -13,61% Secondary sector 3,67% 4,42% Tertiary sector 18,37% 13,22% Total 4,80% 4,85% Table 7: Development of workforce by sector in percentage (Statistik Austria) Primary sector Secondary sector Tertiary sector Workforce by sectors 2007 (in%) 52,05% 16,78% 31,18% Primary sector Diagram 5: Workforce by sectors in SW-Styria 2007 (Statistik Austria) Absolute Relative Table 8: Workforce by sectors 2007 (Statistik Austria) Secondary sector Tertiary sector Primary sector 12.700 16,78% Secondary sector 23.600 31,18% Tertiary sector 39.400 52,05% Total 75.700 100%
Unemployment rates in South-West-Styria have been highly above the Austrian and Styrian average during the past 10 years (Diagram 6). The average unemployment rate has been around 8%, the districts of Leibnitz and Voitsberg had the highest unemployment rate in 2009 (8,7%). From 2008 to 2009, unemployment rates rose in whole Austria. Since this region is an important industry location in Austria, the unemployment rates have risen faster and higher than in other Austrian regions during the general economic crisis. Diagram 6: Development of the unemployment rate 2000- 2009 (AMS) Due to the complex calculation of the gross regional product (GRP) the latest figures were published in 2007. In 2007 the GRP in the NUTS III region South-West-Styria amount € 21.300 per capita (Tab.10). It was well below the average Austrian GRP of € 32.600 per capita (65,34%) .
