Unemployment – What companies have to consider and how applicants can use this as an opportunity

In our new format Handelsblatt Live Plus exclusively for subscribers, we discuss current topics with experts. In our first episode, we deal with a very pressing problem for companies: unemployment. The situation in companies is becoming increasingly critical, and in many places there is a lack of suitable employees. A growth risk for them but also for the German economy.

We discuss on 4 May from 12 p.m with experts on how companies attract applicants – and how employees can use this to their advantage.
