The omen of the destruction of productive force ("layoffs") has been latently haunting the media landscape, especially since "Corona". Here and there, the first figures are already being quoted, and corporations are complaining that there is no way to avoid "job cuts." "Corona" is claiming countless victims, and the capitalist does not mean his bank account, but savings at the expense of the workers.
How strong the "job cuts" will be, and which industries will be particularly affected, will be clarified in the following by means of a table (exemplary in germany). All figures are provided with sources and can be verified. However, this table is not exhaustive, but merely the result of reports published in journals and magazines. The true figures, however, are likely to be much higher, since fears of bad publicity mean that pending redundancies are initially set at a lower level and are only corrected upwards afterwards.
