A theory:
If they talk about "skilled worker shortage", (big) factories don't mean the term in the classical sense. According to the theoretical rules of the market, if they get fulfilled as the concept demands it, the payments for the workers in the affected branches must skyrocket exorbitantly - because the employer must be happy that someone does the job at all at his site. But the opposite is reality - even though socially as well as in small factories they register that potential apprentices and school-leavers come with way inadequate education and personally they're way too immature to fall in to work life.
"Shortage of skilled workers" you could call it therefore as the circumstance when an employer doesn't make it to convince five people to work for the payment of three. They would employ more workers if they didn't need to spend more money than before.
In certain sectors a shortage exists realistically, but nobody is willing to employ a few more people as soon as the positions of their predecessors have been left empty for a longer time.
