Eine weitere Anhebung des Mindestlohns auf 14 Euro könnte mehr als jeden zweiten Betrieb betreffen. Etwa ein Drittel der Betriebe, die direkt davon betroffen wären, geht davon aus, innerhalb der kommenden zwölf Monate Beschäftigung abbauen zu müssen.

Abstract
The IAB Job Vacancy Survey is a quarterly and representative establishment survey on labor demand and recruitment processes in Germany. The survey identifies the overall stock of vacancies in the German labor market, including those vacancies that are not reported to the Federal Employment Agency (FEA). The first module of the questionnaire collects information about the number and structure of vacancies, future personnel requirements, about the current economic situation and the expected development of participating establishments. The second module enquires about employer attitudes and firm use of current labor market instruments as well as the employer handling of people disadvantaged in the labor market. The third module asks for information about the last new hire and the last case of a failed recruitment effort. The Research Data Centre of the Federal Employment Agency offers the data sets of the survey waves from 2000 onwards.
