🔥 Германия: пособие урежут на 30%. Всех предупредили - новые пошлины ЕС и кризис безработицы

Germany 2026: the end of Bürgergeld and the new Grundsicherung rules, benefit cuts of up to 30%, new EU tariffs on international parcels, and a record labor market crisis. Today I analyze the most important news from Germany that will directly affect benefits, online shopping, and the labor market. First, we will take a detailed look at the new Grundsicherung rules that have replaced Bürgergeld. We will discuss in which cases Jobcenter will be able to reduce benefits by 30%, why special attention is now being paid to recipients' compliance with their obligations, and how to properly obtain an Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung to avoid financial sanctions. Another important news story from Germany concerns the European Union's new customs rules. You will learn why the duty-free limit of €150 has been abolished, how purchases on Temu, Shein, AliExpress, and Amazon will change, how much extra you may have to pay for different categories of goods, and what additional charges may apply to deliveries through Deutsche Post and DHL. Finally, we will examine new data from the Ifo and IAB institutes on Germany's labor market. You will learn why the number of unemployed people is already three times higher than the number of available job vacancies, which sectors continue to cut jobs on a large scale, why hidden unemployment (Unterbeschäftigte) is increasing, and what to expect from the German labor market in the coming months.
