Among the various crisis and chaotic things we have in Germany presently (I'd say at least ten of them going on with the public shaking their head)....there's this construction crisis building up. Focus did a piece on this today and I'd recommend a read.
So, here's the reality....you can go back around 18 months month and ask carpenters about items required for building houses, and they'd say....the hardware stores are hit-and-miss. Some things are there.....some things are back-order. So you might be 50-percent into building a new home....finding that x-amount of lumber won't be around for at least 90 days.
Focus talks to this new issue....craftsman. Germany has around 5-million individuals in the trade....with 360k apprentice 'kids'. The analysts say....it's not enough.
Delays are now built into each project (minimum of 11 weeks....up to 16 weeks).
Analysts are saying that the country needs a minimum of 250,000 more craftsmen....for the projects on the table.
Where they will come from? I kinda doubt from Germany itself. If you were in poor-off country and wanted a immigration chance....I'd strongly suggest a craftsman school and some certificates....to entice German interest.
