Labor market IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2020, THE LABOR MARKET REMAINED TIGHT IN SOUTH EAST BRABANT The indicator for tension on the labor market equals the number of open vacancies divided by the number of persons that receive unemployment benefits and who have been unemployed for less than six months. The indictor is used to estimate the demand for and the readily available supply of employees. The outcome of the tension indicator can be any number between 0 and infinite. The higher the number, the higher the tension on the labor market that employers have to deal with. When the outcome is 0, the labor market is very loose. There are no available vacancies, but there is short-term unemployment. The labor market is very tight if the number of available vacancies is high compared to the number of short-term unemployed.

The municipality of Haarlemmermeer was hit the most severely, because it largely depends on the aviation sector and the associated services. The cities of Amsterdam, IJmond and Haarlem and the regions South Limburg and Central North Brabant were also hit by the economic crisis. The contraction of the economy in these cities and regions was mainly caused by the hospitality and healthcare sector. Other sectors that had a

substantial impact on the economic contraction in these regions were the travel agencies (Amsterdam and Haarlem), the cultural sector (Amsterdam), the industry (South Limburg and IJmond) and the temporary employment sector (Central North Brabant). In Brainport Eindhoven, the economy continued to grow between 0-1% in Q1 2020. In Q2 2020, the region saw a contraction of 6-8%.
NOW 1.0 scheme 6444 COMPANIES IN THE REGION MAKE USE OF NOW 1.0 SCHEME Since the NOW scheme was implemented on April 6, 139.399 companies in the Netherlands received a total amount of €7.9 billion. 4.3% of this amount (€343,081,307) was given to 6,444 companies in Brainport Eindhoven. The largest part of this amount was requested by companies in the municipalities of Eindhoven (45%), Helmond (14%) and Son en Breugel (6%). The number of allocations strongly varies per region. This is mainly due to the fact that the headquarters of companies in the Netherlands are geographically clustered. The Amsterdam region received €1,753 million and companies in the Utrecht region and Rotterdam region received €643.5 and €485.6 million respectively. The total amount advanced per employed person was highest in the Amsterdam region (€2,366), followed by Utrecht (€891) and Brainport Eindhoven (€835).
