Employees in the automotive industry in Germany 2005-2023

779,662 people worked in German automobile manufacturing in 2023. The number of employees in the industry has been declining since 2018. Car companies around the world have been repeatedly cutting jobs. While this happens for several reasons, this decade’s onset of robotics and AI adds further question marks to the future of human employment in German automobile production. Is the motor running?The German automobile industry consists of many moving parts. The segments include motor vehicles, arguably the largest, car bodies, as well as electrical and electronic equipment. The production of motor vehicles and motors employed the largest number of employees in 2022 at around 465,777 people. This was an increase compared to the year before, though numbers had generally been falling in recent years. Automobile industry employees had overall also worked decreased hours as a total, in part because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, though the logged in average still amounted to over one billion. Changing industryJob cuts are not uncommon in the automobile industry in general. In 2023, Ford announced it would be cutting thousands until 2026. The company aims to transition completely to electric vehicles. In fact, electromobility as such carries with it the potential for massive changes to existing industry job structures, with around 161,200 German jobs already estimated as directly affected by 2025.

在2023年，德国汽车制造业共有779,662人就业。自2018年以来，该行业的员工人数一直呈下降趋势。全球范围内的汽车公司不断削减工作岗位。尽管这一现象由多方面原因所致，但本十年的机器人技术和人工智能的兴起，进一步对德国汽车生产中的人类就业前景投下了疑问。引擎是否仍在运转？德国汽车工业由众多错综复杂的部分组成。其细分市场包括机动车，或许是最为庞大的一环，车身制造，以及电气和电子设备。在2022年，机动车和发动机的生产吸纳了最多的员工，约为465,777人。相较于前一年，这一数字有所上升，尽管近年来整体数据一直呈下降趋势。由于冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行的影响，汽车行业员工的总体工作时间也有所减少，尽管记录的平均工作时间仍超过十亿小时。行业变革在汽车行业中，裁员现象并不罕见。2023年，福特公司宣布将在2026年前削减数千个工作岗位，该公司旨在全面过渡到电动汽车。实际上，电动化本身可能带来现有行业就业结构的大规模变革，预计到2025年，将有约161,200个德国工作岗位直接受到影响。
