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.”
Those women and children sure look a lot like fighting age men
Thatcher expressed concerns about tearing down the wall. She was afraid of a united Germany.
Merkel to German citizens “Work harder, millions of ungrateful, Christian-hating savages on welfare are counting on you”
Deutschland = Neu Syrien.
Europe is dead. And Germany killed it. They finally came up with a way to really do it. After two tremendous attempts in the 20th century.
Deutschland unter alles.
Deutschland unter alles.
This time they will succeed.
Aint no stoppin them now.
I do find it ironic that many of the very same people who were shrieking about population control not so very long ago now view the declining population they were after with dread. The welfare state can't be as generous with a declining population and people will have to work later in life. So what? Mass immigration of a dependent population will only make the problem worse.
If they’re admitting to 75 percent, that means the actual number is even higher.

If the working age males are layabouts you can imagine what the rest of the lot will be like once they join their young men in Europe.
Feeding, sheltering and paying the invading army to breed...how very sophisticated and tolerant!
