The No. of Hungarian citizens working in Austria was especially high last year, compared to the ratio of other nations:

Officially, 94,458 Hungarian citizens worked in Austria, according to data gathered by Hauptverband, the Main Association of Austrian Social Security Institutions, last December. This number is 4,304 higher than it was in November 2018 and 6,136 higher than in 2017.

The end of each year tends to be the low-point in the labour market. Last year, there was a drop in the No. of workers in December, and an even bigger decrease was observed at the end of 2017. This is probably due to the inevitable lack of activity in certain fields including agriculture and construction among many others.

Interestingly, Austria employed 34,000 fewer foreigners last December, but the No. of Hungarian workers still managed to increase by 4,304 people in the same month.
