The economy of Germany has improved in the last few months but now the country is facing a shortage of trained professionals. The country is now planning to attract qualified professionals from debt-stricken Eurozone countries like Spain, Greece and Portugal to overcome the shortage.

According to a European Union employment network called EURES, which helps with cross-border employment in Europe, revealed that the rate of unemployment is 20% and about there are around 130,000 people in Spain who need jobs. The EURES has further said that about 17,000 Spaniards are willing to work in Germany at present, which means Spain alone cannot meet the demand of professionals in Germany.

Funk, who leads a division of the Association of German Engineers, said that at present, Germany requires a total of 73,000 engineers in all fields.

Monika Varnhagen, Director of the Labor Agency's Central Bureau for Foreign Jobs and Professions (ZAV), said, “There is huge potential in Spain, thousands of engineers are unemployed, including IT specialists”.

Varnhagen further added that one main obstacle of working in Germany us the language because German is quiet difficult to learn and it’s not taught in so many schools around Europe.
