Guess what!
There's a whole generation of old men about to pass away, most of them tradesmen. And in my experience, crotchety and unwilling to teach.

Because this generation generally has less interest in trades, likely from being viewed down upon (see above), there is going to be a severe shortage of people working in the trades.

This will possibly mean two things:
Companies are going to scramble desperately to get new apprentices, so -good news- more jobs. But, expect a startling lack of quality in the years to come.

I am seeing 3 words there Fach Kraft Mangel..... Germans disapprove of Kraft making manual laundry wringing mechanisms?

I only know what a mangel is called because of a Steven King short story

I didn't know that meaning of Mangel. In this case it's just shortage and Fachkraft would be translated to professional.
