Germany continues with the tonic of be the labor market where the unemployed from the rest of the European countries land. In these moments it is easier to find a job as a waiter or plumber than for engineers and technicians of all kinds. Therefore, the myth that the Central European country only creates jobs for professionals is broken.
Right now in Germany it is very easy to find a job if you are a waiter, a plumber or a health worker. Those are at least the data that the German Institute of Economics has just published and which has been reported in the Die Welt newspaper. The newspaper highlights 119 highly demanded professions in Germany where last July there were more job offers than unemployed Germans.
In Germany companies have many problems finding qualified personnel in technical or health careers. As Achim Dercks, Deputy Executive Director of the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, explains, the situation of lack of qualified personnel in certain areas is beginning to be dramatic and everything seems to foresee that the situation will become more serious as time passes.
Focusing on Vocational Training in Germany, the restaurant sector is having the worst time because just over 30% of required jobs are vacant. They have even tried to arbitrate measures to avoid job vacancies, such as trying to retire at 70 years of age.
The lack of qualified workers in some working families is even causing many companies to cannot cope with all requests that are requested by their clients, both national and foreign. Everything also seems to indicate that the next generation of Germans will have the enviable situation of full employment, something that few European countries will be able to say.
