Dear experts in HR,                                                                                                         14 July 2020

dear ladies and gentlemen,

the number of job ads in Germany increased by 47% compared to mid-April. In Q1.2020 the German companies had to fill 1,084,000 jobs. This again is the highest number in any country in Europe and one of the highest number globally.

Like in most countries, also the German companies "jammed the brakes" in the last months. After a significant rise in unemployment through C-19, further stabilization of the German labor market is expected in the coming months. In a global comparison, the German labor market - which generally is relatively "immune" to economic fluctuations - coped relatively well with C-19, too. Germany's rapid, intense actions against C-19. According to an Adecco report, Germany's government is one of the most successful and best-performing countries in fighting C-19.

Of course, several companies had to carry out significant redundancies, but many German companies intensively use/d "short time work" (Kurzarbeit), to keep their well-trained staff "on board". Also, according to a Randstad survey of 10,000+ German companies, 40% say that their business was/is not affected by the crisis at all. 4% even report a growth spurt.

However, the German labor market remained much more stable than expected and the enormous demand for skilled workers, experienced professionals, specialists, managers and also young talents always is present in the minds of the German recruiters and employers. Therefore since some weeks they started, to push the German economy fast again to the high level it had before.
