Minister talks of dynamic labour market

Prior to the round table, Nicolas Schmit told Wort: “Job fairs are very important. We have a great dynamic in our labour market. We are creating lots of good, quality, jobs. Our problem is to find the right people for those jobs.”

He went on to say that companies were looking for skilled people, and it was important to attract talent from over the borders, as well as within the country.

The conference, now in its seventh year, featured some 150 exhibitors. Visitors were invited to find out more by sector, including thematic areas devoted to finance, IT & consulting, industry, construction, business services, and healthcare.
