According to the head of the Federal Employment Agency, Andrea Nahles, a massive upheaval is looming in the German labor market. At the same time, "but similarly many will also be created anew," she said. "Some sectors are hit harder, such as service providers for companies, analytical jobs in insurance and banking." "Therefore, we must also attract skilled workers from countries outside the EU." "For this, we finally need the promised Work-and-Stay Agency, which makes us competitive with other immigration countries. We need to become more modern, digital, and faster." "I am disappointed that apparently mainly the 550 foreign authorities nationwide are supposed to be protected." "That is not what we need in competition with Canada." "In the USA, there was a shock study on young academics. Even here, academics need longer to enter the job market and may not get their dream job – but they still have far better chances than anyone else." She wishes for more investments in AI in Germany, "but only if they bring productivity, not just because it is trendy." "Here, especially the weak economy plays a role. Professions, on the other hand, that can use less AI, such as skilled trades, prove to be quite robust." "Even unskilled and semi-skilled workers still have chances, as it sometimes is not worth replacing them with AI." The former Federal Minister of Labor and ex-SPD leader warned: "Basically, no one is immune anymore." #KI #Arbeitsmarkt #Fachkräfte (translated)
