SHORTAGE OCCUPATIONS IN GERMANY

The stability and diversity of the German economy creates very favorable conditions for the development of the local labor market. Unlike many other member states of the European Union, the number of the unemployed has almost halved in the last decade and today not only migrants or refugees from the poorest countries of the world, but also qualified specialists from quite prosperous regions of Western Europe and North America seek to find work in Germany.

Competent government reforms, the effective operation of the Federal Employment Agency, large-scale decentralization, as well as successful cooperation between trade unions and employers allow Germany to fully provide jobs for both local citizens and foreigners. Of course, not every foreign job seeker can expect to find a job. One of the main conditions is the demand for a profession in Germany.

Germany

In 2024, average wages in Germany are among the highest in Europe. The country has an excellent infrastructure, high-quality medicine, education and social security system. In general, optimal conditions for living and building a successful career are created. In order to obtain a work visa to Germany, foreigners from third countries must meet a number of preliminary requirements, including finding an employer and signing an employment contract.

There is currently a shortage of specialists in several sectors of Germany's economy. This is especially true for industry, information technology, medicine, finance, and science and education. To successfully find a job, you need to have a university degree and have a good command of German or English. Equally important is the level of qualification and work experience. Let's find out what professions are in demand in Germany in 2024.

Note. The information is based on official data from German statistical offices and recruitment agencies.
