Arbeitsmarkt: Rekord bei Teilzeit - Industrie verliert Vollzeitstellen
Teilzeit boomt, Vollzeit schrumpft - der Arbeitsmarkt verändert sich. Welche Branchen sind vor allem betroffen?
According to calculations, the number of part-time workers in Germany reached a record high in the second quarter. However, the number of full-time workers decreased, according to an evaluation by the Institute for Employment and Vocational Research (IAB) in Nuremberg. The part-time employment rate increased by 0.4 percentage points compared to the same period last year and reached a peak of over 40 percent.
The number of part-time workers increased by 0.5 percent to 16.936 million, while the number of full-time workers decreased by 0.9 percent to 25.138 million. Part-time workers are working more due to employment growth in sectors with a high proportion of part-time jobs, such as healthcare and social services, as well as education and training.
Conversely, sectors with a high proportion of full-time jobs, like industry, are experiencing a decline in employment. Overall, the number of employed people in Germany decreased by 0.5 percent compared to the previous year's quarter, standing at 45.688 million. Full-time workers maintained their weekly working time of 38.32 hours, while part-time workers saw a slight increase to 18.88 hours.
