  • The business engine of Europe is Germany, and its auto industry is in need of a tune up. Here's what recent layoffs mean to the global economy - and to U.S. consumers.

The article by Chris Westfall for Forbes, published on November 25, 2024, discusses the economic challenges facing Germany, Europe's richest economy, as it grapples with significant layoffs in the global auto industry. The piece highlights how major German automakers like Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler are undergoing restructuring and cost-cutting measures, leading to thousands of job cuts. This situation is exacerbated by the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), which requires different manufacturing processes and skills, thereby disrupting traditional automotive jobs. Additionally, the article touches on broader economic issues such as supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs, and geopolitical tensions affecting the industry. The layoffs are not only a German phenomenon but part of a global trend where the automotive sector is undergoing a painful transition, impacting economies worldwide.
