      Imagine if the headline replaced Germany with UK, this post would have received sooo much attention…

      Doing debt spamming tanks really seems the only way out for them, I just hope this isnt going to have consequences in the future as this has never ended up well

      Add: “And creating them on other countries with cheap labour costs, tax-breaks, subsidies and benefits, many with EU funding.”

      I doubt that it will get better at least in near future. Companies are trying to move their manufacturing out of germany to countries such as india and china where there is cheap labor.

      Firstly: Is Fachkräftmangel in the room with us now?

      Secondly: This is a side effect of automation and the switch to EV’s which just need fewer parts and thus fewer suppliers.

      Oh noes, what happened?

      Surely it cannot be neo-liberal politics that bet the farm on an aging automobile industry unwilling to change until china started running circles around them, while letting the infrastructure rot away and refusing to accept that technology progressed beyond the fax-machine?

      It always hurts to see people lose their jobs, but it’s also worth keeping in mind that things like this aren’t necessarily a bad thing for the economy as a whole.

      In the wider scope of things, Germany still has a very low unemployment rate, and a quite tight labour market. In a lot of cases, job loss events like this end up taking workers away from stagnating businesses and increasing the pool of workers available to growing businesses that are more competitive.

      The article also says that 45,400 net industry jobs were lost, so there definitely is a lot of hiring also happening, and I’m guessing a large percentage of the remaining lost jobs were retirements. I hope the people affected are landing on their feet.

      Aren’t most of them technically retired people getting replaced by automation? At least I remember an article about the car industry in Germany stating so.

      …and then people wonder in 10-20 years how a character like Trump raises to power. Lets see this continuation in Germany and correlate that to the popularity with parties like AfD in the future. Ugh, we never saw it coming.

      I work in a german machine manufacturer and most of jobs cut in the last 12 months were white collar/ hq marketing roles. Assembly line workers are hired and fired all the time anyway, and the engineering department can’t be touched. Made in Germany is still true for our European product portfolio, while company strategy seems to be local for local, meaning production for China and US happens within those countries. Biggest problem is not AI, but lack of security to plan ahead for capex.

      And still, somehow, the DAX index is right now at ATH.

      i do get why people get upset but this is how free market works. if you can’t compete then you’re out. be it sausages or cars.

      sure as shit VAG was enjoying themselves when they were cheating on emissions and kept selling every single thing (incl. bluetooth) as option with their overpriced cars.

      those days are over.

      i think germany is just transitioning from heavy industry to more modern alternative.
