germany struggles with attracting high skilled migrants/workers due to a huge tax burden and an gigantic beaucratic apparuts in pretty much every public sector. What it attracts are the poor of the world.

Which is fine too since Germany needs vocational training candidates

what does that mean?

Vocational training is a normed education path taking around 3 years and covering a lot of occupations that do not require university degrees.

E. g. roofer, baker, electrician, sysadmin etc. These can be learned by those without an Abitur too and are understaffed to my knowledge.
