The shortage in skilled workers some sectors of the German economy are complaining about is still making the news. However, this time, there are concrete announcements by the Federal Government. After a very emotional phase, sparked off in September by the publication of a scandalous book on immigrants, the debate indeed entered a more rational phase of researching and proposing to answer the following questions: what is the real impact of the workforce shortage? Which trades are most affected? To what extent is a more targeted management of immigration a solution? Finally, what is the potential of the current employment market? In a long interview granted to the Handelsblatt daily, Ursula von der Leyen revealed part of the measures in the offing. The Minister gave an implicit goal: “59% of migrants arriving in Canada have a postgraduate degree, 40% in the US, only 22% in Germany” she explained.
