People in Germany searching and applying for jobs online, by formal education
The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people with a low, medium, and high formal education level. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2019, 19 percent of users with low formal education in Germany responded that they used the internet to search or apply for jobs. Among people with medium formal education the share is four percent lower, amounting to 15 percent. According to the survey 21 percent of users in Germany with a high degree of formal education searched and applied for jobs online.
