In 2023, the number of persons employed in the mining and quarrying sector in Germany stood at an actual previous year value not explicitly stated in this dataset. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a continuous decline, with employment decreasing from 26.34 thousand to 15.24 thousand. Year-on-year percentages indicate a sharp annual decline, which presents an average compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years.
