Statistics - Fewer industrial employees in Schleswig-Holstein
The proportion of industrial employees in Schleswig-Holstein has slightly decreased over the past 20 years. Approximately twelve percent of all gainfully employed persons in this sector were working in industry, according to the Statistical Office in Hamburg in a special announcement. In 2004, about 13 percent of the gainfully employed were active in this sector. The Statistical Office, as usual, did not mention the reasons for this development.
Most industrial employees in Schleswig-Holstein work in the food industry. After that comes machinery manufacturing. The number of industrial employees has slightly increased in the past two years, it was stated. The values were not mentioned in the announcement.
The reason for the special announcement is the twentieth anniversary of the Statistical Office. In 2004, the offices of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein were merged. According to the information provided, this was the first such merger of two such offices nationwide.
The Statistical Office for Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, located in Germany, is the source of the aforementioned statistics about the industrial sector in Schleswig-Holstein. The food industry and machinery manufacturing are the two leading industries in terms of employment of industrial workers in Schleswig-Holstein. In recent German statistics, there's been a slight increase in the number of industrial employees over the past two years.
