#The average working hours of Germans in 2022 will be lower than those of the UK, Greece and Spain, which has triggered different interpretations from employer associations and trade unions. According to a report by the German Institute for Economic Research in Cologne, Germans work 1,031 hours a year, ranking only in the middle and lower reaches. The report analyzed that in order to achieve the goal of increasing the total amount of work, it is more likely to extend working hours rather than reduce the already high labor force participation rate. The German economy is in crisis, and all sectors of society must fully utilize the labor force potential by providing more full-time jobs and other measures in order to achieve the goal of revitalizing the economy. #
