Berlin. The German job market currently offers hardly any good prospects for job seekers. Compared to November 2022, shortly before the release of the AI ​​chatbot ChatGPT, the number of job advertisements on the job platform Indeed has fallen by 37 percent.

Companies need people with AI skills for more and more positions. In addition, according to the federal government's AI strategy, Germany wants to expand precisely this competence in certain sectors. Anyone who acquires the relevant skills can stand out in the job market.

Handelsblatt evaluated data from the technology analysis company Interface and the job platform Indeed to identify the industries and jobs in which AI skills bring the most advantages for applicants. The analysis shows: Companies are not only looking for developers and AI researchers, but above all trained users.
