I don't have a figure on how many companies are affected by this. Recently, we surveyed a large proportion of the companies we support. Over 80% of them said that the shortage of personnel was an obstacle to their growth. In absolute numbers, I can't tell you how many.
Statistically, we can expect this labour shortage to have an impact on our economy and represent a brake on growth. This shortage may prevent some companies from meeting all demands. They tell us they have a full order book, are in a position to expand and have a host of business opportunities, but can't follow them up because of a lack of personnel.
The shortage has a real impact on the development of some companies, particularly in certain sectors.
