    I agree with the first part oft your comment. But don’t you think that providing people from abroad with the means to build those skills here is worthwhile?

    Is it such a prohibitively expensive undertaking to teach somebody how to do construction? With the added benefit of them learning it with the tools and work environment common in Germany?

    I’d argue it’s necessary even. By cherrypicking only fully educated/skilled workers we won’t be able to counteract the rapid decline in working age population.

      It would be cheaper to admit those who already have the needed skills. Construction work requires physical strength and enduring harsh weather conditions. Some people aren’t suitable for this.
