Number of office workers in Germany 2010-2022
The estimated number of people working in offices in Germany rose annually between 2010 and 2022, except for a slight dip in 2020. The German Federal Employment Agency does not report on the number of employees working in offices, which means that no data is available that covers the exact figure. The estimation is based on the development of employment in the key economic sectors with primarily clerical work. In 2022, the number of office workers in Germany was estimated at 10.3 million. That is not an exact number and should be treated as a rough estimate, as the sectors excluded from the calculation also feature a certain, though low, ratio of office-based jobs. Secondly, the sectors included are also not 100 percent office-based.
