Jobboom despite crisis: In these areas qualified workers are urgently needed
“More people are working in Germany than ever before. Nevertheless, there is a huge demand for workers in many professions. These fields are the key to Germany's competitiveness in the coming years. It is essential to motivate, attract and retain the right specialists for these critical jobs,” says Dr. Tobias Zimmermann, labor market expert at The Stepstone Group. The respective focus reports* from The Stepstone Group now show how the search for skilled workers in logistics, skilled trades, healthcare and IT sectors can be successful and what salaries can be achieved. Many people in search of a job: Labor shortage occupations profit The prospects of finding new employees are good: 63% of employees surveyed currently think about changing jobs at least once a month, according to a Stepstone job market survey**. For two thirds of those surveyed, salary is one of the most important decision-making criteria — for more than a quarter, it is job security. “A competitive salary and job security. These are factors with which future jobs in logistics, skilled trades, healthcare and IT can impress,” says Zimmermann. Differing expectations amongst the supply and demand of employee benefits When competing for skilled workers, companies are increasingly required to emphasize financial and non-financial benefits offered by employers. But the Stepstone Focus Reports show: There is often a gap between wish and reality. For example, while more than three quarters of employees in the skilled trades would like further professional training, only 30% of companies explicitly mention this in their job ads. “Further training opportunities are crucial for companies to remain adaptable and help them to remain attractive as an employer in the future,” says Zimmermann. For employees in the healthcare sector, health-related benefits such as sports are important (58%), but only 4% of employers mention such benefits in their job ads — according to an analysis of job ads on Stepstone.de. “Job seekers increasingly have the choice between several employers. Companies offer many additional benefits — but they also have to make sure they mention them in job ads. In the competition for skilled workers in times of a labor shortage, this can be a game changer,” says Zimmermann. Jobs advertised by companies on Stepstone.de with high demand*** Logistics

**About the Hiring Trends Index study The “Hiring Trends Index” study series is a quarterly survey published by The Stepstone Group. In the period from January 9 to 20, 2025, 6,300 German employees and 700 recruiters were surveyed online. Among other things, the current survey examined employees' willingness to look for a new job, their experience in previous application processes and the topic of career change. The results are representative of the German working population in terms of age, gender and education. *About the Stepstone Focus Reports 2025 The Stepstone Focus Reports offer detailed insights into the professional groups that will continue to be particularly affected by the shortage of skilled workers: logistics, skilled trades, healthcare and IT. The focus is on occupational group-specific salaries, salary transparency, workplace factors, employee benefits and the willingness to change jobs and the reasons for doing so. Employers receive valuable information to better understand the expectations of potential candidates. This allows them to optimize their recruiting strategies and target specialists in high-demand jobs more effectively. The data is based on the Stepstone Salary Report 2025, the Job & Salary 2024/2025 and The Age Advantage 2024 studies, as well as the Hiring Trends Index study series and Stepstone analyses. The focus reports are available to download here:
