DAILY MAIL — Just 34,000 migrants out of the 1.2million who have arrived in Germany in the past two years have managed to find a job, new figures have revealed.
The statistics from the German government’s Institute for Labour Research (IAB) reveal how only three per cent of those who travelled to the country are now working.
And in addition out of those who are employed, nearly a quarter are just on temporary contracts, with the numbers applying to migrants mostly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea.
Joachim Moller, director of the IAB, said: ‘If we manage to get 50 percent of them into work which pays for their lives in five years, that’d certainly be a success.
‘But it would be an illusion to believe that we will manage to find jobs for a decent proportion of refugees in well-paid industry jobs like car manufacturing.’
This means the bill of feeding, housing and caring for the migrants will continue to soar into the billions and fall upon the German taxpayer. […]
I want to say a big fat “DUH” to the Headline. I can only imagine the same reality is happening here in the good ol USA. Unless of course these new Mexicans are taking all the factory jobs like in Twin Falls Idaho — working for Chobani.
If only Americans were forced by gun point to pull out a 10 dollar bill every day and hand it to a man standing at the door………………..only then would we wake up as a collective! Otherwise….out of site out of mind for most.
