In the area of employment, discrimination against trans* people are not well researched. Therefore, an overview of the distribution of discrimination against trans* people at the workplace is limited. However, interviews of specifically experienced situations by people affected give an insight.

The study ‘Spezifika der Arbeitssituation von Trans*-Beschäftigten in Deutschland’ (Specifics of the work situation of trans* employees in Germany) by the Institute for Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Research (IDA) showed, that out of the interviewees trans* people were four times more likely to be job seeking than cis people. This illustrates that the access to employment is impeded for trans* people in Germany. Discrimination continues at the workplace where trans* people experience bullying and exclusion and, in comparison, are more likely to be employed in the low-wage sector.
