Indian Professionals Outearn Germans by 29% in Germany's Booming Tech Sector

  • Indian professionals in Germany earn 29% more than local employees, averaging 5,393 Euros monthly compared to Germans' 4,177 Euros.
  • Higher earnings are attributed to Indians predominantly working in high-demand technical and academic jobs, particularly the MINT sector.
  • The number of Indians in Germany's MINT sector has surged nine-fold since 2012, now exceeding 32,800, with many staying after studies.
  • Germany faces a severe labor shortage, with an estimated 7 million skilled worker deficit by 2035, impacting economic growth.
  • Germany's policy actively attracts skilled workers from outside the EU, with recent efforts by the Olaf Scholz government to facilitate Indian immigration.

Why It Matters: Indian skilled workers are crucial for Germany's economy, filling labor gaps and driving innovation with higher earnings.
