From by experience, that doesn't exactly equate to forced unemployment here. I do know of a friend from computer science in the UK who struggles to get past any interview, but I don't perceive the market to be this hostile in Germany, even if not quite as vast as in the past.
Because at the moment we don't have a "hostile" job market yet - as written in the article, the market is only rapidly cooling down. As the market before was massively undersaturated it just means that people currently have less choices - but they still have their share of opportunities. But tbh, pure anecdotal, it pretty much reflects what I hear from graduates atm. The market for newly graduated has cooled down definitely, unless they have a ITsec background or have a fair share of experience already.
