"Our Social Systems are Threatening to Collapse!"

Continental is calling for a concept for the controlled immigration of foreign workers. The company sees this as an important means of effectively addressing the skills shortage in Germany.

It is already becoming apparent in many industries today that the economy is unable to provide sufficient qualified skilled workers.

"The imbalance on the labor market is not only endangering the general standard of living in Germany. Our social systems are also threatening to collapse!" says Reinhart.

This year alone, Continental needs around 2,500 skilled workers in Germany. Qualified personnel are particularly lacking in the areas of software, IT and logistics. "The financing of our social state is reliant on a robust and growing economy. And to achieve this, we need sufficient available and qualified workers."
