Ministry of Economic Affairs sees problems despite good figures

Despite the positive development on the labor market, the Ministry of Economics in MV is concerned about the ongoing supply bottlenecks, among other things.

The domestic economy is picking up again, "however, supply bottlenecks that have persisted for months, rising raw material and energy prices or the lack of skilled workers have been more noticeable in some industries," said Economics Minister Harry Glawe (CDU) on Thursday.

Schwerin - This poses major challenges for companies.

The corona pandemic is not over yet, and according to the ministry, the increasing numbers of infections in many countries are once again ensuring that companies are planning more cautiously.

Nevertheless, Glawe was pleased about the falling unemployment figures in October, as well as the increasing number of employees subject to social security contributions.

“Companies are looking for actively trained specialists.

This is particularly encouraging after months of crisis, ”said Glawe.
