FOREWORD Our flagship publication, “German Business Matters,” provides a detailed overview of the number of jobs created by German-owned affiliates, as well as the volume of German trade by each individual state in the United States of America. Such an overview is important information for investors and politicians alike — on the local, state, and federal level. Successful trade relations promote inward investment for both the U.S. and Germany, which in turn creates well-paying jobs. The total bilateral trade relationship between the U.S. and Germany amounted to $174 billion in 2015, the latest data we were able to process for this report. The U.S. is the #1 export market for Germany. For the U.S., Germany is its 6th-largest export market. Total German investment in the U.S. was $255 billion as of 2015. Around 4,700 U.S.-companies benefit from German investment. German affiliates employ around 672,000 people. These German companies are the 3rd-largest foreign employer in the U.S., with almost half of these jobs created in the manufacturing sector. As these numbers reveal, the United States and Germany are important partners that benefit from open and flourishing markets within a trusted business environment and reliable regulatory frameworks. While this transatlantic economic relationship is already very strong, we look forward to further deepening these ties. Caroll H. Neubauer, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the German American Chambers of Commerce of the USA

Daniel Andrich, President and CEO, Representative of German Industry and Trade

GERMAN BUSINESS MATTERS German-owned affiliates play an important role in the U.S. economy, with German businesses contributing to its economic health and prosperity. Most importantly, these affiliates create jobs in all regions: from California to Virginia and from Minnesota to Texas. They are also a vital part of the daily life of American employees and their families. About 672,000 American jobs were “insourced” and supported by Germanowned affiliates in states across the country. This report, “German Business Matters: A State-by-State Analysis of Imports, Exports, and Jobs,” offers an objective and comparative analysis of German business activity in the United States by employment and trade.

Data When reading this report, it is important to keep in mind that the employment statistics refer only to majority-owned affiliates that are under German control (that is, German-owned affiliates in the U.S. that are more than 50 percent-owned by German investors). The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) defines a Majority-owned U.S. affiliate as a “U.S. affiliate in which the combined ownership of all foreign parents exceeds 50 percent.” All data are publicly available from the Department of Commerce and its agencies — the International Trade Administration, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The various data are published at different times during the year and generally refer to the previous two years. Trade numbers are published monthly. Year-end data for trade are available in mid-February of each year for the previous year. Investment data for U.S. direct investment abroad and for foreign direct investment in the U.S. are published each year by mid/ end of July for the previous year. Finally, employment numbers for German companies in the U.S. and for U.S. companies in Germany are published in August and December of each year and refer to the previous two years. For this brochure, all data are current as of January 27, 2017.

INVESTMENT Total investment from Germany in the U.S. is $ 255 billion. Germany is a significant investor in the U.S. More than 8 percent of foreign direct investment in the U.S. comes from Germany. Per the U.S. Department of Commerce, German investment in the U.S. reached a total of about $255 billion by the end of 2015. If calculated by the “Ultimate Beneficial Owner” (UBO), then German investment amounts to $319 billion and Germany ranks fourth. UBO statistics consider the entity that ultimately owns or controls the U.S. affiliate, independently from the location of that entity. Manufacturing is by far the largest sector targeted by German investment. Other areas of German activity include trade, insurance, and finance. Traditionally, German companies are strongly present in the U.S. Their affiliates represent efficient technologies, a high degree of value added, and attractive jobs. According to the German Federal Bank (Bundesbank), about 4,700 companies in the U.S. benefit from German investment. Most of these are affiliates of small- and medium-sized enterprises.

JOBS German companies are the third largest foreign employer in the U.S. German affiliates support more than 670,000 jobs in the U.S. Therefore, German companies are the third-largest foreign employer, following companies from the United Kingdom and Japan. Overall, German companies accounted for about 10.5% of the total 6.4 million U.S. jobs created by foreign affiliates. Nearly half of the jobs created by German affiliates in the U.S. are in manufacturing. Among the foreign investors, Germany was the second-largest job creator in this sector. German companies thus play a key role in U.S. efforts to strengthen the industrial base.

THE UNITED STATES IN GERMANY U.S. investment is $108 billion in Germany. With its 81 million residents and role as a leading economy in Europe, Germany is also an attractive location for U.S. companies to invest. By the end of 2015, U.S. investment in Germany reached a total of $108 billion (without indirect involvement of third countries). Therefore, the U.S. was the largest non-European investor in Germany. The most significant U.S. investments are found in manufacturing, as well as in holding companies, insurance, and finance. The high-ranking of the Netherlands and Luxembourg is due to their extraordinarily large investments in holding companies. U.S. companies are of considerable importance for the German labor market. They have created over 677,000 jobs in Germany. At the same time, they invest billions each year in research and development.

With a total trade relationship totaling just over $174 billion, the U.S. and Germany benefit mutually from close trade relations with one another. Such trade encourages investment, and both countries are heavily invested in the other. In turn, German companies have created thousands of jobs across the U.S. and vice versa.

ABOUT US RGIT — Deepening the transatlantic marketplace The Representative of German Industry and Trade (RGIT) encourages the deepening of the U.S.-German economic and trade relationship. RGIT represents the interests of German industry in the U.S. on behalf of its principals, the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK). The transatlantic economic relationship is very close. The United States and Germany are important partners in shaping globalization. Deep transatlantic economic integration is based on a trusting business environment, a reliable framework, and open markets. This is what RGIT supports – on both sides of the Atlantic.

Cooperation – Partnership – Integration – Reliability – Openness

GACCs – A strong network The German American Chambers of Commerce (GACC) with their three main offices in Atlanta, Chicago, and New York, as well as branches in Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, all work together under the network of GACCs. With approximately 2,500 members and an extensive national and international business network, the GACCs offer a broad spectrum of activities and services. Other German American organizations and chapters are affiliated with the GACCs. Additionally, our partner office in Washington, DC, the Representative of German Industry and Trade (RGIT), represents the interests of the German business community vis-à-vis both the U.S. administration and other international organizations based in Washington, DC. The German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) are closely connected to the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany. The umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), which speaks for 3.6 million business enterprises in Germany and also coordinates and supports the AHKs. The German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) provide experience, connections, and services worldwide through 130 locations in 90 countries. The service portfolio of the AHKs is unified worldwide under the brand name DEinternational.
