**The German employer association _Gesamtmetall_ warns of a drastic crisis in the
country’s metal and electrical industries, forecasting the loss of up to 150,000
jobs in 2026, reports [Blackout News here](https://blackout-news.de/aktuelles/arbeitgeberverband-gesamtmetall-warnt-vor-verlust-von-150-000-stellen-im-laufenden-jahr/).**

The recent increase in orders is almost entirely driven by the state-funded defense
sector. The rest of the core business remains weak and fails to provide long-term
stability for the industry.

**High energy costs, green bureaucracy to blame**

Since 2018, the sector has already lost 270,000 jobs. According to CEO Oliver Zander,
the situation can be described as “deindustrialization in time-lapse.” The primary
reasons cited are high energy prices, high corporate taxes, rising social security
contributions, and excessive bureaucracy in Germany.

To illustrate the depth of the German deindustrialization crisis, the Volkswagen
Group has confirmed plans to cut 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030, reports [online RTL here](https://www.rtl.de/news/vw-will-50-000-stellen-in-deutschland-streichen-id30450877.html).
The information was disclosed in a letter to shareholders by CEO Oliver Blume and
within the company’s annual report.

The target for job cuts has been raised from an initially planned 35,000 to 50,000.
The decision follows a sharp decline in profits in 2025. Operating profit fell by
more than half to €8.9 billion.

The company aims to significantly improve its operating margin to ensure long-term
competitiveness. The job cuts will affect the entire Volkswagen Group in Germany,
including major subsidiaries such as Audi and Porsche.
