The Fachkräftemangel is largely driven by pay, not by actual shortages. Nearly all software companies have open positions for a software engineer with masters degree and 10 years of experience with sap, haskell and c++, 36k anually before taxes.

The labour market is okay and migration statistics show that it's apparently not worth leaving germany for the better off except for migrating to austria and switzerland.
