It's been a bad couple of months for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose approval ratings have fallen sharply over her continued support of open-border immigration policies that have allowed over 1 million refugees to flow into the country since 2015. Increasingly more Germans have blamed Merkel for the surge in refugee terrorist attacks over the past couple of months and have shifted their support to more nationalist-leaning political parties. In fact, just a few weeks ago Merkel suffered a massive, embarrassing defeat in her home state to her nemesis, the anti-immigation AfD party (see "Merkel Stunned By Defeat To Anti-Immigrant Party In Her Home State"). Alas, despite calls from voters for a shift in Germany's immigration policies, Merkel continues to double down.
One of the original selling points for accepting migrants from the Middle East was the apparent economic "benefits" associated with adding 100,000s of new, young consumers/laborers to the German economy. In fact, the wave of new immigrants was sold as the perfect solution for Germany's demographic dilemma which is expected to see its working-age population shrink by 6 million people by 2030.
While it sounded like a great plan, it doesn't really work that well if new migrants fail to find jobs and become economically productive members of society which, according to Reuters, is exactly what is happening. Apparently, German companies have only been able to find jobs for about 100 of the 1 million migrants that have recently found their way into the country.
According to the latest figures from the German Labor Office, about 346,000 people with asylum status were seeking jobs in Germany in August. With 100 migrants actually employed, that's an unemployment rate of about 99.97%.

Why work.
Maybe the Germans can find someone to do the jobs migrants won't do, eh?
I don’t know how the Europeans could have been so stupid as to not see this coming.
WHY hasn’t this woman been hung in the Town Square by now?!?!
Oh, wait. 0bama. We have no defense. Never mind...
I guess WWI killed off their brave and WWII killed off their brains.
” the perfect solution for Germany’s demographic dilemma”
Except for that terrorist thing and the rapist thing.
PLEASE HANG HER SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s hard to find jobs for Islamic supremacists who view infidels as lower forms of live to be killed, raped or enslaved.
Can’t they find a place to dig a canal or something? Put them to work doing hard manual labor in exchange for food and maybe they’ll want to go back home.
Yes. Ze problem is zat zere are too many Germans in this land. If you want to be employed you are going to hafto kill ‘zem to get a job. Bon apetit.
Oh yeah. Mosque.
Dummes Huhn! What did you think?
the other hag of the world’s western governments, if she had more than one sword to fall for her NWO puke bosses, she’d take them all
Boot Merkel and send the Migrants HOME
Does the European Union actually believe with their huge welfare states that anyone would bother to get a job? Is there some kind of neuron disconnect in their frontal lobe that kills reasoning?
She gives away jobs to migrants for their votes. She doesn't care about jobs for Germans just like Hillary/Obama doesn't want jobs for Americans.
They’ll learn the hard way that you cannot have a generous welfare state with open borders.
They were better off watching their population shrink and automating as much as they can.
“...the perfect solution for Germany’s demographic dilemma...”
Soon to be followed by the Final Solution.
The socialist solution is to give companies a quota of how many terrorists they have to hire.
