[Olog-hai]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel used her weekly podcast on Saturday to sound the alarm on the country’s skilled labor shortage, saying it could force companies to move elsewhere. […]

Germany wants to tackle the shortfall domestically by providing “good training for as many people as possible,” Merkel said. At the same time, Berlin is looking to recruit qualified people from other European Union countries, and further afield.

There are already 2.5 million people from EU countries working in Germany. “But that alone is not enough, and that is why we also have to look for skilled workers from outside the European Union,” Merkel said. […]

Germany is most in need of electrical engineers, metal workers and mechatronics engineers, cooks, nurses, aged care workers, computer scientists and software developers.

The government has been looking to draw people who qualify from Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, India and Vietnam, among others. …

So...the obvious answer is to bring in millions of uneducated muslims who will immediately go on the dole.

Germans need to produce more kids, and so do other western European countries.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Time to import more worthless lazy Muslims...

Start a reverse Berlin Air Lift.

Fly our illegals and their families on a one way trip to Germany.

Germany will be happy, so will the illegals and so will we.

[Salvavida]

I can’t believe she is still Chancellor. Germans need a serious evangelistic effort to turn them around so that they can look themselves in the mirror.

[entropy12]

Why do Germans need more electrical engineers when they have dismantled nuclear energy and shunning coal burning power plants which produce most of the electrical power in the world?

Those people prefer United States over Germany. Mexico is close to US and can just walk over the border, Filipinos and Indians can understand English, and Brazil & Vietnam are too far away from Germany.

Ahh yes, the undercutting of the German unions by pulling in low wage workers from around the world to keep the interest of business.

No one will EVER see that coming... And just think, unions, you elected her. Oops.

Deutchland needs some skilled Politicians...

> Germans need to produce more kids, and so do other western European countries. <

Yep. Abortion on demand combined with high taxes (forcing the wife to work also), that’s a receipt for a demographic disaster. So today’s European leaders have a choice:

A. Limit abortion, and lower taxes.
B. Import millions of uneducated, often-violent Islamists.

Hmm...I wonder what option the Europeans will choose.

[Mark17]

Time to import more worthless lazy Muslims...

That’s exactly what she intends to do. What a beyotch.

[GOPJ]

Germany created a host of incentives so young Germans would NOT have children. Now their reaping the whirlwind of that choice.

If more thugs are brought in from third world hellholes it will make the situation worse.

Yes, I know the German 'elites' are addicted to servant labor from hellholes, but they're killing their country with short term solutions that create long term disasters. Germany needs to get their garbage elites under control just like we're doing over here.

[GOPJ]

Thirty day vacations the first year you’re employed don’t help either...

[Track9]

The answer of course is to trade jews for mooslimes.

[nwrep]

“Mechatronics”? Is this 1958?

[Seruzawa]

Having owned German cars I think they suffer from too much engineering.

[AlaskaErik]

Having owned German cars I think they suffer from too much engineering.

I would never own a German vehicle out of warranty. They become massive money pits once the warranty ends.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes. Her FAILURE was assuming the millions of un-educated, un-trainable, illiterate Muslim males will be able to become German engineers, fabricators, machinists, millwrights, carpenters, farmers or even bricklayers.

They do want they have been trained and educated to become by Muslim Sharia law and their 1300 years of culture, tradition and religion: Militant young males on welfare raping and pillaging their way through an un-defended European population.
