If they need to drop the wage threshold, the problem doesn't seem to be a lack of skilled labor, it seems to be a lack of cheap skilled labor.
Most employers over here are greedy as fuck and prefer overworking and exhausting the few remaining staff instead of hiring additional workforce for higher (i.e. liveable) wages.
The employers in Germany are simply dumb assholes. Let their companies run into the ground, they deserve it.
Same story at my company. Everybody's crying at the lack of skilled labor to justify outsourcing to east europe and india. Couple years later everybody's crying because of the brain drain and how expensive external ressources have become. It's a never ending circle of short sighted stupidity.
Welcome to capitalism. This is by design.
More a problem with politics. Many forward-thinking businesses here.
It's a lack of wages. Just take a look at youth unemployment in Spain for example. They could move to Germany when ever they wanted. But German workplaces are simply not competitive and pay shit for the expenses you have in Germany.
