Now it hits the middle class

Dusseldorf - So far, the economic crisis had hit mainly large corporations such as Thyssen Krupp, Opel and Daimler. But now the sales problems are also feeding into the middle class.
More and more small and medium-sized companies need to delete posts, we found the spring survey by the Economic Information Association Creditreform.
The survey results are as follows: Only a third of the companies rated their own business situation as good or very good (2008: 47%). In half of the companies falling revenues (2008: 26%) .38,2 percent see their future pessimistically (2008: 13%). This attempt, most enterprises (70%), employees keep their jobs and resolve the problems with short-time (30%) or working time (42%) to.
 For medium-sized small businesses (fewer than ten employees) and medium-sized enterprises (10 to 500 employees) are expected. They are in Germany, 99.7% of all sales taxable businesses. They represent 65.9% of all social insurance jobs.
Mario Ohoven, president of the Association of medium-sized businesses, does not see the situation as dramatic.
"Even in this survey, one should look very closely. Certainly the crisis in some sectors, such as the medium has taken a massive automotive suppliers. But in other areas, such as trade or service enterprises, it looks still pretty good.
This indeed shows the survey: Nearly three quarters of SMEs to keep their employees at least, and only 14 percent consider their business situation is bad. That surely means a contrario, the vast majority is satisfied, at least once. "
 There was "no reason to fall into a doomsday scenario." Ohoven for EXPRESS: "I am convinced that the stimulus package will help ensure that the German middle class gets off with a black eye.
It is now crucial that the federal government gives a signal in the direction of the economy Down: with the taxes, so that SMEs can re-invest. "
