As experts believe, by 2020 the shortage of specialists on the German labor market will exceed two million people<\/em><\/p>
Instead of rising unemployment, according to the agency, just five years later a grim situation will arise for employers: there is work, but no one to work. By 2020, as McKinsey believes, the shortage of specialists on the German labor market will exceed two million people.<\/p>
True, it is worth noting that the consulting strategists have revised their even more pessimistic forecast from two years ago: then in the study 'Germany-2020' it spoke of an impending shortage of 4.5 to 6 million workers. The head of the German branch of McKinsey, Frank Mattern, claims that the main thing that enterprise managers should think about today is the retention of qualified personnel by all available means, even at the cost of forgoing profits. The current economic crisis, according to Frank Mattern, has shown that both the German government, entrepreneurs, and trade union organizations have taken the right positions.<\/p>
"In the USA, industrial restructuring happens faster and more sharply, leading to a noticeable increase in unemployment. Germany as a whole managed to avoid drastic steps, largely due to the preservation of jobs through the introduction of a shortened workweek. If necessary, such measures should be used in the future. This will not be a mistake – the crisis on the labor market will make itself fully known by 2015."<\/p>
