>Add to that the lack of qualified personnel - despite its "recession", Germany currently has record low unemployment
"Lack of qualified personnel" is just double-speak corporate propaganda for over-abundance of poor paying jobs that nobody wants.
And record low unemployment means nothing. You can always drop unemployment by raising the cost of living (current situation) and cutting welfare programs, meaning people will be forced to take any shit job they can find just to stay afloat and boom, you have record low unemployment.
IMHO, a healthy economy should always have some unemployment because there's always a glut of shit jobs that ideally should stay vacant because they have poor conditions and pay, but the west's dirty secret is grey area migration which helps keep those shit jobs going.
- rob74 3y agoEr, no, I live in Germany and can confirm that there are actual problems finding personnel for, let's not call them "shit jobs", but jobs with a combination of low pay/high stress/bad working times like nursing home/hospital staff, waiters, bus/train drivers etc.

- hdjjhhvvhga 3y agoI understand you don't like the name but from the workers' perspective what you described is a book definition of a shit job.
