The increased expansion of renewable energies in Germany is also reflected in the job market: In 2022, over 50,000 more people were employed in the sector than in the previous year, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Table.Media’s German podcast Table.Today on Wednesday. That is an increase of 15 percent to 387,700 employees. „The efforts we are making in climate action are creating new added value,“ said Habeck. According to the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the majority of the new jobs were created in the solar energy and heat pump sectors. Biomass saw a smaller increase, while the number of jobs in wind power fell slightly despite rising expansion figures.
