Regional disparities in German industrial employment: growth slowing in strong regions, job losses elsewhere
The article examines regional disparities in German industrial employment from 2014 to 2024. While traditionally strong industrial regions in southern Germany, Thuringia, Saxony, and Saarland still show employment growth, the pace is slowing. Meanwhile, other areas have experienced significant job losses, driven not only by mass layoffs but also by the daily non-replacement of vacant positions. The piece includes a map showing how individual districts are affected.
