In addition to manufacturing, it is above all the service sector — in which the Kurtz Detective Agency is also active — that is one of the main employers in Mainz. Of 104,171 persons subject to social insurance contributions, no fewer than 71,112 are employed in the service sector alone. It is striking that of the many employees only 38,790 live in Mainz while 65,381 commute from the surrounding area. Many of them are allowed to carry out their work more or less independently, which greatly increases the risk of fraudulent conduct against the employer.

With a gross value added of €8.515 billion and a gross domestic product of €9.512 billion, Mainz — as in recent years — is growing markedly and, above all, steadily (2013). Nevertheless — even if the city’s revenues (€540.63 million) and expenditures (€571.97 million) almost balance each other — Mainz recorded debts of €1.233 billion in 2012. But it is not only towns and municipalities in Germany that are indebted; private individuals and companies are increasingly driven into insolvency. In 2010 alone 48 companies and 214 private persons applied for insolvency proceedings in Mainz; of the 262 proceedings, 20 were dismissed for lack of assets. Large sums are at stake and unfair means are frequently employed. Offences such as delayed filing for insolvency, undeclared work and fraud form part of our detectives’ daily investigatory work in Mainz.
In addition to full-time employees, 16,551 persons in Mainz are employed exclusively on a marginal basis and a further 10,189 work marginally in a second job (2013). The latter in particular often causes headaches for employers, because a secondary employment is not always desired. There is the danger that the employee will overexert themselves through the double burden and will no longer be able to provide their full working capacity. Or the employee works in their secondary job for a competitor and there is a risk of industrial espionage.
