# German auto industry crisis: jobs and profits under pressure

> The German auto industry is going through a deep crisis, marked by collapsing profits, restructuring and labor conflicts: IG Metall threatens warning strikes and around 3,000 Audi employees have gone on strike. Supplier Schaeffler announced the elimination of 3,460 jobs in Europe, while the press mentions plant closures and a wave of bankruptcies. This context applies to the entire sector, between high costs, sluggish demand and foreign competition. The difficulties extend beyond Germany: sales are falling in China and trade tensions weigh on the United States, while Schaeffler's cuts also affect Belgium and Slovakia. A German barometer nevertheless signals a clear improvement in sector morale.
