The number of unemployed specialists is increasing in Germany.
The German labor market is getting tougher in finding work for its university graduates. According to the data of the Federal Employment Agency of Germany, in August the number of unemployed specialists with higher education exceeded 370 thousand people. The indicator has been growing for five years in a row.
The situation is especially difficult for young adults. Among the most vulnerable categories are experts in the humanities and engineers. The department cites as the main reasons economic difficulties and the spread of artificial intelligence, which changes the demand in the labor market.
This creates a paradoxical situation: years of study, a certificate and professional qualifications no longer guarantee young Germans the opportunity to find a job in their specialty.
