Article reports that employment in Germany’s engineering industry is expanding at its fastest rate in 40 years, highlighting the strength of Europe’s largest economy as global financial storms intensify. Jobs in the sector – the backbone of Germany’s manufacturing industry – rose by 27,000 in January 2008, the highest monthly increase since the 1960s, according to figures published on 25 March 2008 by Gesamtmetall, the engineering employers’ federation. Some companies reported losing production because they could not fill vacancies quickly enough. GESAMTMETALL is the employers' association for the metal and electrical industry, representing some of the most important branches of the German economy – such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automobile manufacture, computers, and the aerospace industry. |
