Die Befristung von Beschäftigten hat trotz zunehmender Zurückhaltung der Betriebe bei Einstellungen in den letzten Jahren nicht nennenswert zugenommen. Möglicherweise ein Indiz, dass die Regulierungen zu restriktiv sind.

Wer verstehen will, warum Sanktionen nicht nur eine Frage der Gerechtigkeit sind, sondern auch wichtig, um Grundsicherungsempfänger zu aktivieren, sollte dieses Interview mit einem SPD-Landrat lesen. Zurzeit ohne Paywall. tagesspiegel.de/politik/der-…

Ist schon möglich, dass alles noch vor uns liegt - aber bislang ist von einem Produktivitätsschub durch neue arbeitssparende Technologien wenig zu sehen.

Dann hat der Staat zu viele Aufgaben übernommen.

Eine Seite Argumente, warum einfach gar nichts geht. Wie eine Blaupause für die Krise in unserem Land. (Ausriss: Tagesspiegel)

Mehr Frührente ist genau das, was wir bei demografisch schrumpfender Erwerbsbevölkerung brauchen. Sollen doch die anderen arbeiten. 🙃

On August 7, 1942, a 28-year-old German oil executive stood outside a Jewish orphanage in Nazi-occupied Poland and watched SS soldiers throw babies out of windows. That moment changed his life forever. His name was Berthold Beitz. At the time, he wasn’t a resistance fighter. He wasn’t a politician. He wasn’t part of an underground movement. He was a businessman working for the German oil industry in Boryslaw, a town in occupied Poland where Hitler’s war machine depended heavily on oil production. Beitz had a wife at home. A small daughter. A comfortable position. And after witnessing what the SS were doing to Jewish families, he went home and told his wife Else: “We have to do something.” Most people in occupied Europe survived by looking away. Berthold and Else refused. Over the next several years, they would save around 800 Jewish lives. Not with weapons. Not with speeches. With forged papers. False job titles. Hidden rooms. And unimaginable courage. Beitz discovered that Jews officially classified as “essential oil workers” were temporarily protected from deportation. So he started expanding the definition. Tailors became “petroleum technicians.” Hairdressers became “oil specialists.” Rabbis and scholars suddenly had paperwork claiming they were critical to Germany’s fuel production. He signed the papers himself. When deportation trains arrived, Beitz sometimes walked directly up to the cattle cars and demanded prisoners back, claiming they were essential workers needed for the war effort. And astonishingly, it often worked. While Berthold rescued people publicly, Else turned their home into a sanctuary. Jewish children hid in the cellar while Nazi officers sat upstairs eating dinner. Parents who knew they were about to be murdered entrusted their children to her arms. If the Gestapo had searched the house thoroughly, the Beitz family would have been executed. They did it anyway. In 1943, the Gestapo finally investigated Berthold after forged work permits were discovered. He denied everything. Somehow, he escaped arrest. By the end of the war, approximately 800 people were alive because the Beitz family refused to accept evil as normal. After the war, Berthold rebuilt his life quietly. He became one of the most powerful industrialists in Germany, eventually helping lead the massive Krupp steel empire and later ThyssenKrupp. He advised world leaders. Helped strengthen postwar Germany. Worked behind the scenes during the Cold War. But he almost never spoke publicly about what he had done during the Holocaust. His own grandson later admitted the family learned many details only by reading newspapers. When people called him a hero, Berthold rejected the word. He said: “I was just a human being who saw what was happening.” In 1973, Israel honored Berthold and Else Beitz as Yad Vashem “Righteous Among the Nations,” one of the highest recognitions given to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Berthold Beitz died in 2013 at age 99. Else died the following year. The children they saved went on to have children of their own. Today, thousands of people exist because one German couple refused to look away while others did. Berthold Beitz spent the rest of his life believing he had simply done what any human being should do. History tells us otherwise. Because when cruelty becomes ordinary, the people who choose compassion become extraordinary.

Der steile Anstieg der Arbeitslosigkeit flacht ab, aber vor allem in der Industrie werden zehntausende Stellen pro Monat abgebaut, erklärt @iw_koeln Arbeitsmarktökonom @HSchaeferIW in unserem ZEIT-ZU-WENDEN-Bus. Die Wirtschaft braucht dringend ein großes Reformpaket, es ist Zeit zu wenden!

Der Rückgang der Erwerbstätigkeit setzte sich im April nur leicht verlangsamt fort. Gelingt keine Trendwende, werden im Jahresdurchschnitt rund 190.000 Jobs verloren gehen.
