📰 🇪🇺 Germany announced 125,000 industrial job cuts in 6 weeks A WSWS report from September 15, 2025, explicitly states that "in the six weeks since June 30, 2025, German corporations announced the elimination of more than 125,000 jobs. This aligns with an EY study showing ~245,500 industrial jobs lost since 2019, accelerating in 2025, and broader surveys indicating over a third of German companies planning cuts this year. The figure encompasses automotive, steel, rail, and related sectors, driven by weak exports to China/U.S., EV transition costs, and competition from Asia.
