Supplementary notes
* Due to extensive reporting changes made in 2007, data from 2007 onwards and data up until that year are only partially comparable.
For data protection reasons, all data (absolute values) from 2007 onwards was rounded to a multiple of 3.
The reference date is December 31 of each year.
Up until 1990 referring to the old West German states and Berlin.
The figures for up to 2009 were taken from previous publications of the BIBB (Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung, Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training).
Figures have been rounded for better understanding of the statistic.
