| Economy: |

| Vienna is Austria’s economic centre: in 1991,
744,516 people were employed by 71,000 (1981: 66,127) small and
medium-sized enterprises; that’s approximately a quarter of
Austria’s jobholders, of which 701,052 were employees. At 18,317
places of work (26%) there are no jobholders (family enterprises),
some 46% (32,796) hold 1-4 employed jobholders. Among the major
companies there are 73% with under 20 employees, 1.5% more than 100
and only 142 large firms employ more than 500 people. The percentage
of immigrants among the employed jobholders declined between 1991
and 1993 from 13.3% to 12.6%; the unemployment rate constituted 7.2%
in 1993. The most important employer in Vienna is the service sector
with approximately 75% (555,008) of the Viennese jobholders and 85%
(60,157) of the workplaces. Although the overall recession of the
manufacturing sector and industry affected Vienna, 8081 workplaces
were allotted to 135,964 jobholders in 1991 which still makes Vienna
the most significant industrial location in Austria. From 1991-1992
the number of Vienna’s industrial firms dropped by 77, the number of
industrial employees decreased by 3753; in 1993, another 6740
workplaces in this sector dwindled away. There are also many
companies outside of Vienna with their business management office
based in Vienna; a total of 45% of Austrian industry is controlled
from Vienna. Industrial diversity is typical as well as the
production of consumer-oriented and high grade quality end products.
Of prime importance is metal production and processing with 74,278
employees in 2926 companies; ranking second is the food and drinks
production with 16,769 employees (907 companies), and in third place
the printing industry which employs 12,773 (931 companies). Other
important areas are the production and processing of chemical
products, rubber and petroleum, the production and processing of
synthetics, engine-, steel-, and vehicle construction as well as
iron- and hardware production; the construction trade accounts for
48,573 employees. The production value in the years 1991-1993
increased from 133 billion shillings to 136 billion shillings
(+1.8%). In 1991 the industry of Vienna employed 121,504 people in
13,907 companies. In agriculture, only 5025 people (factory owners,
family members, permanent labourers) were employed in 1281
enterprises in 1991. By 1993 (micro census) this number had dropped
to 4700. Vitally important for the regional and the overall Austrian
economy are the Vienna Fairs (trade and public fairs, for example
the Vienna International Spring Fair, Interieur, IFABO, Auto-Salon &
Zweirad). |
