Based on IAB, WEF Future of Jobs 2025, and Cedefop Germany 2025 -- a differentiated picture for Germany. Strong growth (>15% by 2030): Green energy and climate technology (wind, solar, e-mobility), AI and data economy, healthcare and nursing (demographic change), cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure. Moderate growth (5-15%): Logistics tech, digital marketing, HR tech, e-commerce. Decline (>-10%): Simple clerical work (automation), traditional banking (FinTech disruption), brick-and-mortar retail, conventional printing industry. McKinsey addition: The largest job shifts happen within industries, not between them -- an electrician who has mastered e-mobility has better prospects than one who has not. Caveat: Forecasts carry uncertainty -- COVID invalidated many 2019 projections.
