Germany’s Shortage of Skilled Workers Eases Slightly

The shortage of skilled workers among companies in Germany has eased somewhat. According to a recent survey, 36.3% of firms are currently suffering from a shortage of qualified workers, down from 38.7% in October 2023. A year ago, it was 43.6%. “The weakening economy is reducing demand for skilled workers in the short term,” explains Klaus Wohlrabe.
