Ifo-institutets anställningsbarometer föll till 91,3 punkter i april, den lägsta nivån sedan december förra året. Företag planerar fler uppsägningar än nyanställningar, särskilt inom industri och handel. Ifos Klaus Wohlrabe varnar för ett fortsatt tryck på arbetsmarknaden.

Berlin. Den tyska arbetsmarknaden försämrades markant i april. Ifo-institutets anställningsbarometer, som beräknas för Handelsblatt, sjönk till 91,3 punkter—den lägsta nivån sedan december förra året.

Klaus Wohlrabe, chef för Ifos enkäter, säger till Handelsblatt: "Trycket på arbetsmarknaden ökar märkbart. Många företag svarar med utökade personalnedskärningar." Nyanställningar är undantaget, tillägger han. Utan ökad planeringssäkerhet ser han ingen återhämtning inom den närmaste tiden.

Indikatorn låg över 93 punkter mellan januari och mars. Värden under 100 innebär att fler företag planerar uppsägningar än nyanställningar. Undersökningen baseras på cirka 9 500 månadsrapporter om anställningsplaner för de kommande tre månaderna.

Industrin uppvisade den kraftigaste nedgången, med 20 punkter. Handeln går likvärdigt dåligt, medan tjänstesektorn håller sig relativt sett bättre.
