Ogni settimana DW e altri media tedeschi pubblicano articoli in cui si denuncia come la Germania abbia seriamente bisogno di manodopera. Ma quando vai a [social media](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMM9o7sUK/) [platforms](https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestionsEU/s/B1YLPFs7lQ) [everywhere](https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestionsEU/s/LLyzNZtJ0W), la gente piange e [lamenting](https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestionsEU/s/KSVbRem6V6). Le persone hanno difficoltà a ottenere i cosiddetti lavori anche se hanno qualifiche e competenze in lingua tedesca. Dove si nascondono questi lavori? C’è davvero una carenza di manodopera in Germania? Alcuni di noi sono addirittura disposti a pulire i bagni, ma sembra che non ci siano bagni da pulire in primo luogo. Il governo sta giocando un gioco crudele con chi cerca lavoro o cosa? Qual è l’obiettivo finale? Questo è così frustrante!

Job shortages usually occur in jobs that few people want to do: Cooks, tradespeople, elderly care, and so on. You‘ll easily find a job in one of these fields if you have the required qualifications
Other fields, especially well-paid white collar office work, do rarely have any kind of labor shortage and are way more competitive.
There’s a shortage of people who want to work for free.
This country is, as you say, “playing a cruel game on (non-EU) job seekers. Germans and EU members are not lamenting about finding jobs as they are literally protected by law to be hired first. Many German nationals (hiring managers) complain about is the lack of German-speakers in the job market. But what they don’t know or understand is that the “Make it in Germany” campaign propaganda distributed around the world, indicates the availability of English speaking jobs. However, the infrastructure is slow to encourage businesses and society to adapt to and encourage English speakers in the workforce.
My career coach introduced me to the term (translated) “Devil’s Circle.” Germany is full of them. These are bureaucratic obstacles that make things very difficult for outsiders. For example: You need an apartment, but to get an apartment you need a German bank account, but to get a bank account, you need a German address. See?
It’s the same way with the job situation. For the longest time, it has been the law to hire Germans first, then EU members, then everyone else. But there aren’t enough qualified Germans or EU members because of the way the education system is set up on tracks, and the huge number of pensioners. So they NEED immigrants. However, most jobs require workers to speak at least a B2 level of German to work there, but it takes YEARS to learn this language. While the younger generations are incorporating English into their business structures, the older generations are sticking firmly to traditions–from a variety of reasons ranging from xenophobia to their primary clientele primarily speaks German. 😱😈
The current government is making changes to the laws, but like everything in this country (except the Autobahn), it’s going to be slow-going for a while–probably to the detriment of the country’s well-being and stability.
