Living Standards in Weimar Germany

By 1924, living standards for workers began to improve.

Increasing wages

Worker’s wages increased and their working hours shortened.
But wealthier Germans did not like that the State was giving workers support.

Unemployment insurance

In 1927, an insurance system was set up to help workers if they were unemployed or ill.

Housebuilding

From 1925 to 1929, around 100,000 new homes were built for workers.
