Seit 1996 führt das IAB jährlich eine Arbeitgeberbefragung in ostdeutschen Betrieben durch, um aktuelle repräsentative Daten über die Beschäftigungsentwicklung und deren Bestimmungsgrößen zu erhalten. Die achte Befragung vom Sommer 2003 erbrachte auswertbare Interviews von 5767 Betrieben....

"Mit der günstigen wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung hat auch die Diskussion um den Fachkräftebedarf wieder an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dieser wird in dem Bericht aus betrieblicher Perspektive genauer untersucht. Grundlage dafür bilden die Daten des IAB-Betriebspanels. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt bei...
