Working conditions in the craft sector - Desired occupation involving high demands and less praise

BIBB/BAuA-Factsheet 43

There are around one million craft businesses in Germany, providing work for around 5.6 million people - that’s 13 percent of the total workforce. These people work in the carpentry, metal, and automotive trades or in bakeries, butcher stores, hair salons, and many other trades. The analysis of the BIBB/BAuA-Employment Survey 2018 reveals that the physical requirements in craft jobs are particularly relevant.
