In 2000, a total of 614,000 employees were influenced by this technology of which biotechnology had a high relevance for maintaining competitiveness of around 220,000 jobs. In this high impact cluster the number of jobs increases to a range of 330,000 to 677,000 jobs in the year 2010 which equals to a maximum of approximately 1.7 % of all employees in Germany. Additional spill-over effects of biotechnology will range between 657,000 and more than 1 million jobs in the year 2010, depending mainly on diffusion rates of biotechnology.
