BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – The search for personnel is also becoming more difficult for freelancers. According to the half-yearly economic survey of the Federal Association of Liberal Professions, a good one in six assumes that in the next two years there will be fewer employees than today. At the same time, the proportion of those who expect the same or even more staff is falling. “Around 340,000 jobs are vacant in the liberal professions,” the association said on Sunday. These are massive gaps in relation to around 4.5 million employees. The liberal professions include doctors, lawyers, architects and authors./bf/DP/mis
