Does the skilled workers shortage in Germany really exists?

When I look at the situation and follow it, I have to conclude that at least it must be considered that in the shortage occupations often only minimum wage or at least unattractive wages are paid.

Coincidence or reason?

What if wages and salaries in the shortage occupations were increased first so that they would even become internationally attractive? I simply claim that first all industries purportedly experiencing a shortage of skilled workers must increase wages. Because a shortage of skilled workers is an international phenomenon and many countries are vying for these skilled workers at any cost. Canada, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, UAE, USA, and many other countries have understood that skilled workers must be encouraged to immigrate to their countries with several benefits and Germany instead , the are blind of the phenomenon on that skilled workers are going to other competitive countries instead of choosing Germany .

What are we doing for this? Collaborations with developing countries for the exchange of skilled workers are good, but Germany is or was one of the leading industrialized nations and for years was the reigning champion in exports, and this only happened with German Quality, and to maintain that, the "best" from every field, even from abroad, must now be encouraged to come to Germany to continue this success. Of course, education in Uzbekistan, India, Egypt, Tunisia, and similar countries has certainly improved compared to ten years ago, but by what standards?

Education, further education, studying in Germany used to be the benchmark for the best in the past and in some industries like hospitality, solar energy, even leading. What is the standard for skilled workers from abroad, the "German" standard?

Adding further complexity is that potential skilled workers already in the country of origin depending on the continent and relationship to Germany face difficulties during the application process with consulates and even with the skilled labor immigration law, which has already been simplified several times. Let the employers decide whether the applicant must already speak German before coming. It is forgotten that skilled workers are sought internationally and all other attracting countries are satisfied with English. Is Germany and its bureaucracy empathetic enough during the recruitment process?

Another clue that the shortage of skilled workers cannot be so great and that salary is a significant part in the decision to hire new skilled workers is age discrimination in the job market. Hundreds, thousands of older employees desperately seek new employment and fail for two reasons during the search: 1. age and 2. too high a salary. Dozens of articles, reports, and shorts are currently going viral, confirming that this phenomenon exists. The foreign countries would gladly welcome those scorned. Because many of these experienced and well-educated skilled workers still possess the good old world-renowned education in Germany, but what interests the employer in their own country more is how much they want to earn for their expertise.
