That's roughly it, 1.5K euros is not a lot. If you simply lost your job and went on social benefits, you would get 500€ + Rent from the state, so I don't think for many there is a good reason to have a job paying that low. The inflation is also eating up the savings of many of the lower class, so they're also looking to earn more. The upper management class in germany is however frighteningly conservative about raising wages aggressively.

The lower class in Germany have savings?
If you consider the overdraft limit, yes.
