In 2025, Germany recorded the highest number of unemployed in the last 12 years, reaching 2.984 million, according to the Labor Office. This represents an increase of 161,000 compared to the previous year. The unemployment rate remained at 6.3%, and the outlook for the current year is difficult, with a slight easing of the situation expected only by mid-year. Analyzing the evolution of the labor market, experts emphasize that the economic stagnation of over five years has contributed to its deterioration. Additionally, the shortage of qualified employees remains a problem, despite the increase in unemployment. In 2026, a decrease in the number of available workers by 40,000 is anticipated due to demographic factors. The integration of refugees into the labor market has made progress, but there are still challenges, especially regarding the integration of refugee women.
