Sought-after professions in Germany

The need for skilled labour is great, and is increasing because of demographic change. Especially in STEM professions (science and technology) and in health care, Germany already depends upon skilled workers from abroad. Many jobs are filled by immigrants. In 2017 alone, 38,000 skilled workers from countries outside the EU immigrated to Germany. This emerges from a study conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation.

Edgy and beautiful

Myths abound regarding north Germany’s largest commercial city: it is said for example to boast more bridges than Amsterdam, London and Venice combined. The underground runs mainly above ground, the Morgenpost (i.e. morning post) appears in the evening, while the Abendblatt (i.e. evening gazette) comes out every morning. Yet all of this is true, somewhat bizarre, and completely endearing.

“Take a clear stand”

German politicians and society alike reacted with great sympathy and shock to the right-wing extremist attacks in Hanau. Last Thursday, a 43-year-old German shot and killed nine people in Hanau. The amateur marksman then killed his 72-year-old mother and himself. Investigations so far show that the presumed perpetrator held racist beliefs and was mentally ill. Ten thousand people took part in a funeral procession in Hanau on Sunday to stand up for tolerance and against xenophobia. All over Germany, on the radio and in the press, as well as on social media, people are currently discussing how society should tackle racism. Many members of civil society and many scholars are also demanding that decisive action be taken to combat right-wing extremism. Here are some of the most important opinions:
