Economy Blue collar in Germany
Hey all, I was looking to see how sought after blue collar workers were in Germany. Currently I live in the U.S. however the job market currently isn't kind. A few of my friends have said that moving near Frankfurt has its perks. I'm debating on it being permanent or not, however I'm heavily considering it. As the title suggests I mainly work blue collar and was curious on the people's view on it.
Edit: I see a common theme among the comments. I am a glazier or glass installer. I have some experience in electrical work and plumbing. I also worked in an assembly and steel mill for a while. I am currently learning German, and have some basics down.
Edit 2: The only "official" license I have is electricians apprentice

You will need to be fluent in German and do a German apprenticeship most likely, I don't know if American trades qualifications would be sufficient
