The expansion of mobile working is likely to lead to an increase in qualified applicants in the future. Digitalization will also create more jobs in companies: On a scale of 1 (no influence) to 10 (much greater choice of qualified applicants), the average response for mobile working was 6.9. Demographic change, on the other hand, is likely to lead to a decrease in the supply of jobs. According to HR managers, the advance of digitalization is likely to lead to a slight increase in jobs in mechanical and plant engineering.
