Because at the same time, the number of applicants has significantly decreased, also by a good 8 per cent on 439.000, the output location for you with a calculator is currently similar to last year. The statistics show that there are even more of a Surplus of training places, even if the aggregate values conceal that the Situation in Berlin, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia is less favourable, and for some professions, significantly fewer training places are available.
