25 November 2022 Filling IT vacancies increasingly difficult for businesses

A growing number of businesses in Germany have difficulties filling IT vacancies while the frequency of IT security incidents is increasing. More than a fifth (22%) of businesses with 10 or more employees had their own IT specialists in 2022, according to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). More than one in ten (11%) businesses of that size advertised jobs for IT experts in 2021, and more than three fourths (77%) of those businesses stated that they had had problems filling the vacancies. That share increased by nearly 20 percentage points over the past few years. Such problems were mentioned by 66% of businesses in 2019 and by only 58% in 2016.

Experimental statistics

In the "EXSTAT – Experimental statistics section" we regularly publish new and innovative project results of the Federal Statistical Office. These are obtained by using new data sources and methods. Both the degree of maturity and quality of the results differ from those of official statistics, especially regarding harmonisation, coverage and methodology. Nonetheless these results of the statistical offices of the Federation and the Länder offer new and interesting ways of looking at various statistical topics.
