-0.5% on the same month a year earlier</p><p><span>WIESBADEN</span> – Roughly 45.41 million persons resident in Germany (national concept) were in employment in August 2026, according to results of the employment accounts. According to provisional calculations of the Federal Statistical Office (<span>Destatis</span>), the seasonally adjusted number of persons in employment therefore fell by 29,000 (-0.1%) compared with the previous month. In the period from January to July 2026, employment decreased by an average of 20,000 people month on month.</p><p class="chartImage chartImage--1478996 ">

In the August average for the years 2023 to 2025, employment decreased by 38,000 people (-0.1%) compared with the previous month.</p><p><strong>Year-on-year decline in employment continues</strong></p><p>Compared with August 2025, the number of persons in employment in August 2026 was down by 235,000 (-0.5%). The downward trend in the year-on-year labour market figures, which has been observed since January 2025, therefore continued. Compared with the same month a year earlier, the rate of change was ‑0.4% in the months from January to April 2026, and stood at -0.5% in May, June and July 2026.</p><p><strong>Adjusted unemployment rate at 4.0% in August 2026</strong></p><p>According to results of the labour force survey, 1.86 million people were unemployed in August 2026. This was an increase of 120,000, or 6.9%, compared with August 2025. At 4.3%, the unemployment rate was higher than a year earlier (August 2025: 3.9%).</p><p>Adjusted for seasonal and irregular effects, the number of unemployed stood at 1.76 million in August 2026, an increase of 9,000, or 0.5%, compared with July 2026. The adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged from the previous month at 4.0%. Previously, the rate had last been at this level in June 2016.</p><p><strong>Methodological notes:</strong><strong> </strong> </p><p>The differing comparative periods must be taken into account in all press releases on short-term indicators: Short-term economic monitoring focuses on seasonally adjusted comparisons with the previous month or quarter. These reflect short-term economic trends. Year-on-year comparisons, by contrast, enable long-term comparisons of levels and are largely unaffected by seasonal fluctuations.</p><p>Seasonally adjusted figures facilitate comparisons across consecutive months, without regular seasonal effects, such as typical seasonal weather conditions, distorting the overall picture. By contrast, results that have not been seasonally adjusted present the actual development in the reference month.</p><p>Monthly employment results are based on the national concept, which counts persons in employment who are resident in Germany, regardless of whether they work in Germany or abroad.</p><p>The figures on employment and unemployment presented in this press release come from different statistical sources. The employment figures are derived from the results of the employment accounts, while the figures on unemployment are based on the labour force survey, which is incorporated into the microcensus. Any differences can primarily be attributed to the methods and procedures applied in the statistics and, to some extent, to differing definitions and delimitations. Background information on this is available in the <a class="RichTextIntLink Basepage">explanatory notes (only in German)</a> on the relevant statistics.</p><p>Persons in employment and unemployed persons are counted according to the employment status concept of the International Labour Organization (ILO). According to this concept, persons in employment are all persons who worked for pay or in a self-employed capacity for at least one hour in the reference period. Unemployed persons are defined as those who are not in employment, are actively seeking employment and are currently available for work. Therefore, the unemployment figures shown here differ from registered unemployment as determined and published by the Federal Employment Agency in accordance with the German Social Code. In the European Statistical System, the results of the labour force surveys are used as a standard basis for calculating unemployment rates.</p><p><strong>More information:</strong></p><p>A <a class="RichTextIntLink GenericTable">table containing monthly results on the number of persons in employment</a> (unadjusted values and seasonally adjusted values) from the employment accounts is shown on the "<a class="RichTextIntLink NavNode">Employment</a>" page of the Federal Statistical Office’s website.
