"US workers have reportedly been switching to more attractive jobs since the pandemic. But labour market churn has remained fairly low in Germany, say Christof Röttger (IAB) and Enzo Weber (IAB and University of Regensburg). The COVID crisis has been an extremely fast recession. Rapid declines during lockdowns were followed by steep recoveries. Industries affected by the restrictions suddenly had to ramp up business again when lockdown was lifted. For example, hospitality shed a lot of jobs during the crisis, and many firms report difficulties in filling new positions." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))
