Berlin in numbers
The business environment in Berlin with 3.44 million citizens has been improving constantly for years*. Growth has occured in almost all economic sectors, particularly the hospitality industry with a growth of 12 million to 17.8 million stays overnight from 2002 to 2008, and the film / art / media sector with 160 000 employees, second in place nationwide only to Munich. Increased purchasing power per capita of 16 800 euros as well as a since 2004 declining unemployment rate of 19% down to 13.9% provide a good base for businesses. This is confirmed in the number of startups of 26% despite the economic krisis. It is noteworthy that growth is the strongest in the districts of Mitte and east of it, which will be will almost certainly be reinforced by the construction of the highway route expansion of Neukölln to Treptow, and the new main airport Berlin-Schönefeld. *Source: IHK Berlin 2009 Economic Report
