The growth of the German economy is hampered by the shortage of qualified personnel, the results of a study of the German Economic Institute have shown. According to the Rheinische Post newspaper, the German economy lacks about 440,000 qualified employees. If to fill these vacancies, then the economy will receive an additional 30 billion euros a year and GDP growth will accelerate by 0.9 percentage points.

However, the number of open vacancies in March grew by 86 thousand to 778 thousand in annual terms.
