germany has taken in over a million migrants in since 2015, how is it possible that so many jobs are still open? following your logic the unemployment rate must be in the low single digit percent, meanwhile there are talks to foce ppl to work longer …
yes, the unemployment rate is about 5%, this is considered “full employment” because there are always the people who can’t work for whatever reason, and you still have people switching jobs in there as well.
And how is forcing people to work longer not a sign of a severe lack of workers? what makes more sense?:
“we don’t need more people, we need to increase the size of the work force” or “we need more people, we need to increase the size of the work force”?
what part of hundreds of thousands of open positions in every field currently being listed is difficult to understand? this doesn’t even cover the not-officially listed jobs, you even bring points showing the severe need for workers…
The rate is rising again - +62k unemployed in just one month, Germany is on an economically downward spiral right now, closing major industry and losing it to other countries. The unemployment rate of migrants is 15% and rising, btw. The argument that there are so many positions open and Germany needs migrants to fill this position is one that i hear for over 20 years now and yet it never goes away. Also, you can‘t just put random ppl in random jobs because they‘re open right now, it‘s not the GDR anymore. Qualification is a major issue here.
