There is currently a shortage of around 109,000 IT specialists in the German economy. Although this is significantly fewer than the 149,000 just two years ago, companies do not see any real alleviation of the skills shortage. Currently, 85% complain of a shortage of IT specialists on the German labor market, only 4% speak of an oversupply and 10% say that there are sufficient IT specialists. 79% expect the shortage of IT specialists to become even worse in the future, only 4% expect it to decrease and 16% expect no change. These are the results of the new Bitkom study on the labor market for IT specialists, for which 855 representative companies from all sectors were surveyed.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cdn.pblzr.de\/dacbb27c-1270-4041-b681-e2b95f06f8a1\/2025\/08\/bitkom-logo-400x300_1_TEXT.jpg"}
