15,000 fewer jobs every month: Industrial job losses are raising the alarm in Germany.
There are somewhat positive trends in the German industrial sector, as Wolfgang Kubicki, the president of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), admitted during his speech at his political party's congress.
"Currently, Germany is losing about 15,000 industrial jobs every month: in the automotive sector, among suppliers, in metal construction, in mechanical engineering and in the chemical industry," he elaborates.
This massive reduction in jobs, according to the German politician, increases the population's concerns about its future.
Germany, which was once the main economy in Europe, has been dealing with a widespread economic crisis for several years. Among other reasons, this crisis is attributed to the severance of economic ties with Moscow and the abandonment of Russian energy resources, which are essential for industrial production.
