In late May 1939, just three months before the Second World War began in Europe, Germany's workforce was made up of almost 25 million men, 15 million women, and a very small number of foreign workers. The share of German men in the workforce decreased each year thereafter, as more were conscripted into the armed forces, and there were approximately 11 million fewer German male citizens in the workforce by September 1944. The number of German women fluctuated, but remained between 14 and 15 million throughout the given period, and it exceeded the number of German men in 1944. Despite the number of German men in the workforce dropping by 45 percent, the total number of workers in German was consistently around 36 million between 1940 and 1944, as this difference was offset by foreign and forced laborers. These workers were mostly drafted from annexed territories in Eastern Europe, and prisoners were transferred from concentration and POW camps to meet the labor demands in various areas of Germany.

Abstract: The author’s aim is to give an overview of the development of the official German statistics and specially the official employment-statistics in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Data-Sources of the official statistics of the GDR about the occupation has been:- four occupation censes, which has been carried out together with the population census (1950, 1964, 1971, 1981);- special surveys about the occupation carried out by the statistical service of the former GDR;- workplace-statistics and sector-specific reporting including information about employees, done by the SZS;- further statistical reporting by governmental organisations about employment. In order to realise comparability between the official statistics of the former GDR with the official statistics of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), the Federal Statistical Office made substantial conversions and formed new statistical groups respectively (see special tables dealing with backward projection of the GDR-statistics, Table-Part D. and E.). Topics: Subcategorisation of the Study (Tables of the ZA-Database HISTAT):Some Data of the GDR-employment-statistics: I. The official employment statistics of the GDR:
A. Employed persons and population B. Employees and apprentices by occupational status C. Employees by economic sectors II. Making the former GDR’s labour force statistics comparable with the labour force statistics of the former Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) D. Federal Statistical Office, Wiesbaden: Some Information of backward projection of the GDR’s labour force statistics into FRG-classification („ Systematics of economic sectors“, Issue 1979 (WZ)“) III. Selected Information of population and occupation census (1950, 1964, 1971, 1981), according to the systematics of the Federal Statistics. E. Federal Statistical Office, Wiesbaden: Employees of the former GDR by population and occupation census (conversion 1964, 1971, 1981) according to („ Systematics of economic sectors“, Issue 1979 (WZ)“)

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.
