How Europe's Skilled Labor Shortage Is Reshaping Competition

from The European Economy Podcast with Fexingo: ECB, Eurozone, and Continental Markets · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna examine Europe's deepening skilled labor shortage and how it's reshaping competition across the Eurozone. With the ECB's rate path uncertain and GDP growth picking up, labor constraints are becoming the binding factor—especially in Germany and France. They explore new data on unfilled vacancies, wage pressures, and the surprising winners: countries like Portugal and Spain that are attracting remote workers. The hosts also discuss how firms are adapting, from upskilling to automation, and what this means for productivity and inflation. #SkilledLaborShortage #Europe #Eurozone #ECB #GDP #LaborMarket #Inflation #Productivity #Wages #Germany #France #Portugal #Spain #RemoteWork #Automation #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
