Jobs available in Europe - 48.000 engineers and 90.000 unskilled jobs needed in Germany alone

Although 3.8 million Germans are on the dole, the country's recent growth spurt has left businesses unable to fill 600,000 vacancies, including many high-skilled jobs. Among them are 48,000 missing engineers, whose absence last year cost Germany about €3.5 billion ($4.6 billion) in lost annual output, according to the IW economic institute in Cologne. At the other end of the spectrum, Germans aren't responding to want ads for 80,000 to 90,000 unskilled jobs. Germany is the world's largest exporter. Companies may soon find it too difficult to fill orders and risk losing market share. The solution is simple: Bring in labor from abroad.
