As a commercial hub between north and south and between east and west, Munich enjoys an outstanding location in the heart of Europe. All economic centers are easy to reach from there. Its location and optimum location-related conditions are the reason for Munich's position as one of the most important economic centers on the continent.
Compared to other metropolitan areas, Munich residents have the highest purchasing power. Above all, that is due to its modern regional economic structure including an above-average share of highly qualified employees, correspondingly high wage/salary levels and low unemployment rates.
