Sweden Accepted 162k Refugees in 2015. Guess How Many Have Jobs
Daily Sheeple ^ | 2/17/2017 | Daniel Lang

When it comes to the migrant crisis in Europe, the two most important questions that need to be asked is, will these refugees ever return to their homelands, and if not, will they ever be able to function in European societies? So far, the answer to the latter of those two questions is a hard no.

Take Sweden for instance; a country that on a per capita basis, has probably taken in more refugees than any other European nation. In 2015 alone, they brought in 162,000 refugees. Now if these people were making assimilating into Sweden, you would see thousands of them finding jobs, finding homes, and learning the language. But by at least one of those metrics they are utterly failing. Out of those 162,000 refugees, guess how many have found a job since they reached Swedish shores?

Only 494 have jobs now. A majority of the refugees are qualified to receive work permits in Sweden. So far, roughly a third of them have received work permits (more would have them, but there are so many refugees that the government is struggling to issue them). And of those with permits, less than one out every hundred migrants has a job.

This has been a widespread problem across Europe with no real end in sight. Only Germany has managed to alleviate the problem somewhat, by making migrants exempt from minimum wage laws. Either way, the odds of these people ever assimilating into Western society is slim.

Either they’re going to be jobless and a chronic strain on the welfare systems of Europe, or they’re going to be resentful of the societies that welcomed them when they realize that they’re only ever going to be working for pennies on the dollar. They will become a permanent underclass, always dependent on the government, and with no motivation to ever accept Western values.

How noble of the Swedish goobermint to want to share their socialist utopia with the unwashed, uneducated, Islamic crazies.

Socialism kills.

Anyone who can blindly believe in 'Utopia,' is mentally ill. Remember, talking/reasoning with a parasitically mentally ill person will not change their mind; they are sick - yes, zombie-like. .

A permanent underclass = Loyal voter. The Islam import trade is just human trafficking of clean skins. No background or records, to be used for whatever purpose the masters dictate.

“Only Germany has managed to alleviate the problem somewhat, by making migrants exempt from minimum wage laws. “

That’s backwards.

(1) It hurts citizens at the bottom by reducing their opportunities and driving down their wages.

(2) Don’t they know that it’s politically incorrect to offer slave wages to immigrants. It’s a form of discrimination.

I think the question should have been...in 2015 and even today...how many jobs are created yearly in Sweden?

It would shock me if it were more than 1,000 per year...most are probably not full-time jobs either. I would also take a guess that when you did find a thousand of the new immigrants employed...the massive bulk are probably burger-flippers or trash-pick-up guys. It would not have taken a rocket-scientist more than thirty seconds to figure out the next decade and the way that the majority of men in this 162,000 group became occupied.

According to the article:

1620 have jobs out of 162,000 immigrants.

It says 1%

Sweden doesn’t have nukes or a space program.

Where are tens of thousands of nuclear physicists and rocket scientists supposed to work then?

Couldn’t raping Swedish women be considered a “job”?
