But wait.

Unemployment in otherwise prosperous central European Austria has risen over the past year, with the greatest increase observed among the migrant community.
The latest figures from the Arbeitsmarktservice Österreich (Austrian Public Employment Service, AMS) show that last month, 410,854 people were employed, some 8.7 per cent of the workforce. While this represented a 5.6 per cent increase on average nationwide, actual incidence of unemployment were highly concentrated in certain areas, and among certain communities.
Rising unemployment was highest among foreigners, who were twice as likely to have become unemployed as native Austrians over the past year, at 14.7-per-cent, reports Der Kronen Zeitung. The length of unemployment is also increasing in Austria, with job seekers now having to search for 126 days on average to find a job, a rise of 19 days since last year.
State by state breakdowns of unemployment shows that as well as joblessness being highly concentrated among foreigners, it is also growing faster in regions of Austria most closely associated with migration and the migration crisis over the past year. Capital Vienna (Wien), which has seen hundreds of thousands of migrants arrive by train from the south witnessed the most rapid increase in unemployment — some 17.4 per cent this year.
