I sat and watched a German news piece last night....around 5 minutes long. Topic? Germans on a second, and even third job....to pay their bills.
The general number of Germans with a minimum of a 2nd job? Roughly five-percent of society who work.
The three ladies interviewed for the news item? They basically run from 6 AM to late evening....to get the hours in and accumulate a standard of living.
Minimum wage not cutting it? I'd say that's one of the issues. But if you live in any metropolitan region of Germany....your rent is a major problem. Grocery prices? Higher than two years ago. Electrical and natural gas prices? Way more since the Russia-Ukraine war started.
This number of people with second jobs? I would suggest by spring of 2025...it'll be closer to 7 percent, and it'll amount to a election topic.
