Up to 65 percent of Syrian "refugees" and migrants entering Germany can't read or write which makes it nearly impossible for them to get work.

" Nearly two-thirds of Syrian refugees are illiterate, which leaves hundreds of thousands of new arrivals without the ability to get a job.

Ludger Woessmann, a professor of economics at the University of Munich, tells German magazine Zeit 65 percent of Syrian refugees fail to meet international standards on basic reading and writing skills. Just 10 percent of the one million arrivals in the country this year have a college degree, which may force unemployment rates and demand for social welfare to rapidly go up.

"With two-thirds of young Syrians who must be regarded as functionally illiterate in accordance with international educational standards, so the necessary training to run local businesses is mostly missing," Woessmann says.

Half of the refugees are under the age of 25 and can still get an education, but the ability to learn to read and write quickly fades during the late teenage years. Refugees in recent years struggle to complete basic learning courses to prepare for the job market."

They’ll need to raise taxes and grow the government in order to take care of them and their problems, exactly as planned.

[ilovesarah2012]

Just build special schools for them and teach them to read and write and teach them German and in five or six years they will be ready to get a job. You wanted them - you got them.

The mosques will take care of that. They have another use for them.

Teach them orienteering and give then a one-way map back to Syria.

[Resolute Conservative]

As long as they keep them and not pass them along to us.

[Louis Foxwell]

These are not immigrants. They are invaders.

[SpaceBar]

But they all know how to kill, so it’s all good.

Merkel should be drawn and quartered.

Those aren’t workers. Those are warriors for allah using German taxpayer money to strike a blow for jihad.

[Uversabound]

Coming to America?

Not if we can help it.

Then there is obummer.

She must be insane. Or corrupt. Sure, it makes sense that Syrians migrate to Germany, I mean it’s right next door. /s

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Oh, they will have no problem finding work - dealing drugs, acting as pimps, fencing stolen goods, setting up Welfare and government ID scams.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Just a HUNCH, but I don’t think they came to WORK!

[lonevoice]

65% (650,000) of the one million Syrian refugees taken in by Germany are illiterate, and probably at least that many desire a caliphate and shariah. Germany is lost.

“Teach them orienteering and give then a one-way map back to Syria.”

LOL!

[manc]

both is my thought.

No leader with any sense who cares about their own country would bring in nearly a million people who bring nothing of advancement to the country.

I still cannot for the life of me understand why these idiots think bringing these people in is a good thing when all what had to be done was to set up a safe zone in their own country.
