Labor policy situation and skills shortages in the regions
The intention of the report for the
Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund Bundesvorstand
(DGB) is to undertake a more profound regional examination of the paucity of skilled workers. The six shortage indicators are presented at district level, and the districts are assessed based closely on the Federal Employment Agency's “Skilled Worker Shortage Analysis” indicators. The results demonstrate significant variations in the shortage of skilled workers between districts, highlighting the inadequacy of an analysis at federal state level in capturing this variation. Additionally, the report evaluates various local factors and identifies districts and areas where there is significant potential for improvement in addressing shortages due to the combination of labour shortages and unfavourable factors.
