  "account": "A new study by the Institute for Employment and Labor Research (IAB) suggests that the German arms industry has not been able to offset job losses in other sectors such as automotive. Only about 1,100 employees switched from other industries to the arms industry last year, according to IAB researcher Enzo Weber, who co-authored the study with Yasemin Yilmaz. This is three times more than before 2020, but still far from the 23,000 employees who moved to public administration or social insurance. Overall, industrial employment has significantly declined due to fewer new jobs being created. The industry currently loses around 15,000 jobs per month. The study attributes this to pressures from both the energy crisis and changes in trade with China and the United States, as well as declining investments and record-low job creation. The report emphasizes the need for political stimulus to boost the labor market and promote professional development as central reforms for economic growth and new value creation. The current stagnant labor market in the industry signals the importance of comprehensive economic renewal, including flexibility and skill development to enable employees to transition to emerging fields or lead changes in their job roles.",
