BERLIN, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Half of German companies are struggling to fill vacancies due to labour shortages, the DIHK Chamber of Commerce and Industry said on Wednesday, despite stagnation in the euro zone's largest economy.
Germany, like industrialised countries around the world, is facing deep labour shortages, particularly in skilled high-growth sectors.
The proportion of companies facing difficulties hiring was slightly down from the previous survey of 22,000 companies, falling to 50% from 53% in January, but remained elevated.
