Satisfaction among Hamburg trainees is falling. In 2012, the percentage of those who were satisfied or very satisfied was still at 72.8 percent.

The German Federation of Trade Unions surveyed a total of 1,053 trainees from 27 professions for the report from September 2022 to July 2023. 14 percent of trainees stated that they always or often had to do things that were not related to their training - by three percentage points, the strongest increase since the studies began more than ten years ago.
