- f6v 5y agoAnecdotally, haven’t seen a young tradesmen in Germany while I lived there.
- marvinvz 5y agoThey are usually really good, but germany also pushed a lot for more students in universities over the decades.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoMost trades people I met in DACH region were either Turkish, ex-Yugo, or Eastern European immigrants. I rarely saw a native working at trades. They usually own or run the business but don't seem to have a stereotype of treating their employees well.
- wink 5y agoAt least where I live that has not been the case, at least until a while ago. I would guess the ratio is higher than in office jobs, but not like you make it sound. Might be a bit dependent on city vs rural as well.
