The German employer association Gesamtmetall<\/em> warns of a drastic crisis in the country\u2019s metal and electrical industries, forecasting the loss of up to 150,000 jobs in 2026, reports Blackout News here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High energy costs, green bureaucracy to blame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, the sector has already lost 270,000 jobs. According to CEO Oliver Zander, the situation can be described as \u201cdeindustrialization in time-lapse.\u201d The primary reasons cited are high energy prices, high corporate taxes, rising social security contributions, and excessive bureaucracy in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n

VW to lay off 50,000 employees!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

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<\/a>. The information was disclosed in a letter to shareholders by CEO Oliver Blume and within the company\u2019s annual report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u20ac8.9 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
