Refugee reality: Germany admits 75% face long-term unemployment and life on benefits
Express (UK) ^ | Jun 23, 2017 | SIMON OSBORNE

THREE quarters of Germany’s refugees will be long-term unemployed and claiming benefits for years, it was admitted today.

Aydan Özoğuz, commissioner for immigration, refugees and integration, told the Financial Times that only a quarter to a third of the newcomers would enter the labour market over the next five years, and “for many others we will need up to 10”.

The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) found only 45 per cent of Syrian refugees in Germany have a school-leaving certificate and 23 per cent a college degree.

Statistics from the Federal Labour Agency show the employment rate among refugees stands at just 17 per cent.

It said 484,000 of the refugees are looking for work, up from 322,000 last July — an increase of 50 per cent.

Of those, 178,500 are officially unemployed, meaning they not only have no work but are not enrolled in any training programmes or language courses — up 27 per cent on last July.

The figures will be hard to swallow for Angela Merkel as she seeks a fourth term as chancellor in elections this September.

Ms Merkel’s poll ratings plummeted in 2015 when she responded to Europe’s migrant crisis by announcing a deeply unpopular open-door policy.

It was hoped the arrival of so many working-age, highly-motivated immigrants would help end Germany’s skills shortage and solve a demographic crisis posed by its dangerously low birth rate.

Dieter Zetsche, chief executive of carmaker Daimler, said the refugees could lay the foundation for the “next German economic miracle”.

But the truth about the migrants’ lack of qualifications and language skills is now sinking in.

Ms Özoguz told the FT: “There has been a shift in perceptions.

“Many of the first Syrian refugees to arrive in Germany were doctors and engineers, but they were succeeded by many, many more who lacked skills.”

Where "long-term" = ...forever.

Germany has imported hundreds of thousands (and that number is rising fast) of welfare leeches from a culture that aims to destroy its host. ...just as the EU globalists intended.

[The Federal Labor Agency] said 484,000 of the refugees are looking for work

Where "looking for work" = looking for more and better welfare bennies.

Great. This means that all refugees should go to “Freeloader Land,” formerly “Germany.” Pres. Trump should revise the ban on welfare to immigrants, from the five years Pres. Clinton signed, to a 20 year ban. That would dramatically cut the numbers of immigrants coming to the USA.

Isn't this usually the case? The first people to flee from a sh!t-hole are the ones with the brains to figure out they have no future in the sh!t-hole and the financial means to get to a country that values their skills.

They were probably thinking voters for me when they imported more of a religion that will someday put a knife to their necks.

Not if you cut them off. If you cut off the free money, they will go elsewhere.

75% is most likely an underestimate. One would think, faced with this tidal wave of negative outcome, Angela Merkel had zero chance of being reelected to continue her dismantling of Germany. One would be incorrect to presume that.
Somehow, she stands a good chance of keeping her position.
What other conclusion is possible, but to say a large portion of German voters approve of what she’s doing.
They don’t have the Kardashians for distraction. They must be aware by now of the cultural demolition in progress.

This is genocide against the German people, and it’s being done by their own government and elite class.

Too late for that. You cut off the free money they’ll burn the country down. Too many of them.

That's been my line of thinking. Maybe "tearing down the wall" wasn't such a great idea. This is WW3, and Germany is winning. Countries that can still get out of the EU should do so.....except their leaders get bought off.

Germany's going to have an army of very ruthless Turk and ISIS terrorists to impose their will when poorer countries won't turn over their assets when debts can't be paid off.

No, I don't think this is out-there conspiracy theory. It's the only thing that makes any sense, judging by all that's going on.

Germany is not winning, because they are not in control of the army.

They are certainly leading the battle, but in Germany, Islam is winning.

If the freeloaders are going to be on welfare their entire lives, then spay them. If they are busy working they will busy breeding

that blows Merkel’s excuse out of the water of not enough Germans to fill future work force. Anyone with a brain knew that was a lie. Hang that hag!
