Life and work

Happy people from our region

Southwest Mecklenburg is a region where people enjoy living and working. Mecklenburgers are close to nature, grounded and firmly rooted in their land and its traditions. Many young people would like to have a professional career in their own district, as WiFöG has learned from surveys. The reasons are obvious: vast green spaces, bathing lakes, the proximity to the Baltic Sea and fresh clean air provide a healthy quality of life. For a long time now, women and men have participated equally in working life here, and this is to remain the case in the future.
