Saxony's craft industry demands long-term solutions - financial expert criticizes politics

According to a report by www.sueddeutsche.de Crafts in Saxony require long-term solutions to existing problems. The President of the Dresden Chamber of Crafts and the Saxon Crafts Day, Jörg Dittrich, criticized the fact that politicians at the federal level lack the strength to deal with bureaucracy, revitalize the construction sector and ensure the long-term security of supply to the energy networks. There is a lack of investment in dual training and in the innovative strength of companies.

According to the announcement, 1,351 craftsmen in East Saxony became self-employed this year. In addition, 343 people received the master craftsman's certificate and 1819 the journeyman's certificate, and around 12,400 craftsmen received further training.

The current problems in the craft sector in Saxony could have long-term effects on the economy and the labor market. The lack of investment in dual training and the innovative strength of companies could lead to a shortage of skilled workers in the long term and impair the competitiveness of the Saxon economy. In addition, the lack of support for the construction sector could lead to a decline in construction orders and thus a slowdown in economic growth.

It is therefore important that politicians take measures to address the concerns of the skilled trades and develop long-term solutions to strengthen competitiveness and the labor market in Saxony.
