Skills shortage
Colonial power Germany
The media speak of a shortage of skilled workers as if they were the lobby of industrial groups. In fact, the spokesmen for the industry associations think: We are not ready to pay higher wages. Any worker who gets by on low wages is fine with us. And if it's Indian IT workers or Polish nurses for the elderly, the main thing is that wages are as low as possible. So Romanian meat workers have to live in containers and work for an hourly wage for five euros, and parcel carriers of African descent have to work off their workload in a fifty or sixty hour week. And when resistance arises and the health of the workforce is ruined at the age of fifty, it is called “skills shortage”.
And the Minister of Economic Affairs blithely invokes the endangerment of the German economy, even if the parcel deliverers should at least receive the minimum wage. And the parties, especially the FDP, want to regulate immigration by law. For example, it is intended to disguise the integration of skilled workers, which is actually wage dumping.
Eastern Europe's health systems are ruthlessly ruined by emigration. The EU Commission calls this “freedom of movement”.
After Africa's mineral resources were plundered, the intellectual reserves of this continent have also begun to be looted. Nobody cares that the training costs remain with the countries of origin. With “Colonization 4.0” Germany is once again one of the colonial powers.
Germany has brought it in the recruitment of cheap labor to special mastery. Germany used this advantage to impose its austerity course on the other EU countries and to take over the political leadership.
Your own people are kept quiet, because everyone knows that immediately another person takes over his job when he revolts. The upper middle class is right, as long as possible.
And the media feel good when they spread the ideology of the upper middle class. As long as there is freedom of the press and the media are called the “cornerstone of the free, democratic basic order”.

Lack of facts instead of a lack of skilled workers
Despite the lamentable shortage of skilled workers, there is still a shortage of training places. The
There is a shortage of skilled workers only in some sectors, and wherever there is, it is often self-inflicted. On
Guest contribution by Gerd Bosbach. ...
The Federal Employment Agency published on January 30, 2020, which is easy to miss, and therefore hardly noticed
explains: “From October 2019 to January 2020, a total of 67.000 training positions were still available immediately
Start reported, which should be filled. In January, 11.000 of them were still vacant. Were at the same time
64.000 applicants are registered who continue, again or for the first time, to qualify as
sought immediate entry. In total, there were 2020 in January 27.000 - at the end of the re-placement
registered applicants unsupplied and a further 19.000 despite having an alternative
still looking for a training position. " (1)
That is quite confusing, so in our clearer words: Despite the constant talk of
The shortage of skilled workers currently lacks at least 35.000 training places for those willing and interested in training
Young people.
Past failures
While researching an as yet unpublished article, I came across 2007 figures and
Formulate: "According to information from the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) there were still in 2007
734.000 apprenticeship applicants only compared to 516.000 apprenticeships
(https://www.bibb.de/de/16623.php), although there has already been a public warning of a shortage of skilled workers. " Back then
predominantly 15 to 20-year-olds could today be 28 to about 33-year-olds skilled workers.
School fees of all shortages
It was not until 2017 that the Nursing Act stipulated "In future, school fees will no longer be paid." Yet
The health ministers of the federal states had to do this at their conference in Leipzig in mid-2019
Federal Ministry of Health remind. (see. https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/politik/inland/gesundheitsm
inister-ablation-school fees-health-care-care-100.html from June 6.6.2019th, XNUMX), including the state of Mecklenburg-
Western Pomerania has now paid the school fees at least from the 2019/2020 school year onwards
for nursing professions. “Nine federal states have already abolished school fees” quoted the Süddeutsche on
October 24.10.2018th, XNUMX a politician. In view of the deficit that has been known for years, the word "already" is not actually a
Scandal?
“Exemption from school fees for teacher training discussed” is the headline of the GEW on July 10.7.2019, XNUMX and on
in the article: "Federal Minister of Family Affairs Franziska Giffey (SPD) has announced the school fees for the training
to want to abolish educators. " So is the shortage surprising? From the future to
expected wages can hardly be dealt with later repayment of school fees.
Today's failures with effect for tomorrow
Today there are constant reports of too few teachers, missing and broken school buildings, such as “Schools
bursting at the seams ”, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger 4.2.2020. Along with those outlined above
We seem to be preparing for the shortage of apprenticeship vacancies in the coming decades. For that then
certainly as demography today blamed and not today's savings in education, training
and wages.
The arguments mentioned do not deny that there is a deficit in individual professions and regions
Specialists. However, it is largely self-inflicted and by no means affects all professions and
Regions, as an analysis by the Federal Employment Agency (“bottleneck analysis”) shows. The consequences
the (alleged?) fear of a shortage of skilled workers is far from sufficient.
