European drone industry shows alarming decline in job vacancies despite urgency for rearmament

As the war in Ukraine continues and political calls for European rearmament grow louder, the number of job vacancies in the military drone industry in Western and Southern Europe shows no signs of growth. In fact, the sector is shrinking. This is evident from recent research by Intelligence Group on job vacancy data within the defense sector. “The urgency that politicians talk about is not reflected in any concrete increase in demand from the defense industry,” says CEO Geert-Jan Waasdorp.
