Half of Turks in Germany Do Not Work, Majority ‘Not Interested in a Job’

Figures show that almost every second Turk of working age in Germany is “economically inactive”, meaning they are either not in work or officially registered as unemployed.

The latest data from European statistics bureau Eurostat shows that 43 per cent of Turks living in Germany are economically inactive, a figure which rises to 48 per cent according to the country’s Federal Statistics Office.

A report in Die Welt concerning the data explains there are a number of reasons why so many people with Turkish backgrounds aged between 15 and 64 are not in work. stating that around a third are undertaking education or training, while almost one in five retired early for health reasons. A further one in 10 said family duties make holding down a job impossible.

“The vast majority of the [Turks who are] economically inactive declare that — at least for the moment — they are not interested in a job,” the German broadsheet reports.

The difference in employment rates between Turks and natives is particularly stark among women, with just a third of Turkish women in work across Europe, the Eurostat data shows.

The rate of one in three applies to Turks living in Germany, according to the Federal Statistics Office 2015 microcensus, which found that Turkish women are only half as likely to be in work as German women — over whom they have significantly higher birth rates.

Overall in Germany, Welt notes, just 18 per cent of men are economically inactive, a figure which rises to 26 per cent among women.

Breitbart London reported last month that Frankfurt officially became the nation’s first major city in which native Germans comprise less than half the population, with Turks the largest foreign minority.

“We have minorities with relatively large numbers in Frankfurt but no group with a clear majority,” said the city’s integration secretary Sylvia Weber, presenting a 200-page report on inequalities with regards to employment, education, or housing.

Economically, the report showed big disparities between foreigners and Germans, with the income of 49 per cent of people with roots outside Germany falling below the poverty line compared to 23 per cent amongst natives.

In terms of employment rates, Frankfurt Integration and Diversity Monitoring reported that 83 per cent of German men and 78 per cent of German women are in work in the city, figures which drop to 73 per cent and 59 per cent amongst men and women with foreign backgrounds, respectively.

Wow, half not working. Living of work of others. Leeches.

How can Germany be so lost, once such a great nation.

Hard to believe that country controlled most of Europe at one time and had a chance to beat the Soviet Union.

I have no problem with Germans supporting all the layabouts.

The reason so few Turkish women are in the workforce is because they’re busy in their den, whelping litters of jihadis.

Their job is Jihad, and they are just waiting for their orders from their Master, Erdogan.

The key here is the working age: Figures show that almost every second Turk of working age in Germany is “economically inactive”, meaning they are either not in work or officially registered as unemployed.

Frau Merkel thought importing these people would solve financial problems that come about from an population that is not only aging but producing less children.

But she assumed they would want to work. Surprise!

Plus at one time they led the world in missionary work. Once a great Christian nation.

Testament to what moving away from God’s word and forsaking fellowship with God’s people can do for a nation.

Doesn’t take long either, couple generations.

May the U.S. heed the warning.

So these Turks were let in to do the scut work, the jobs that Germans would not do, and to work for less than union-negotiated wages.

And it turns out they don’t like that arrangement? Cheap thing for Germany to do is buy them a one-way return ticket back to Turkey.

And if it turns out Turkey may be a dangerous place for these Middle Eastern snowflakes to return to, well, they can join their cousins, the Uighurs in western China.

China knows how to deal with them.

Why work when you can rape German women, pee in public pools, and bomb shopping malls and churches?

Somehow they are eating and got some type of housing. Interesting, isn’t it. Germany is totally fuc@ed. And as a eyeopener, we are not much better with supporting the leeches.

I know a guy who worked in Turkey for about a year.
His opinion is that Turks are among the laziest people
on the planet.

Knowing what I know now, we should have stayed out of WWII in Europe. Hitler declaring war on America was insane. Germany would have eventually destroyed Stalin saving America from the Cold War. Would there have been a cold war with Germany? Would they get the bomb? Who knows and it’s all silly revisionism. I do know Britain,Germany,France,Italy and others in twenty years will look nothing like they do now with the barbarians within the gate which is wide open with lovely invitations and that the men still buried in the American military cemeteries will have died in vain.

Since my last personal view of Germany was a little over 36 years ago, I know my perspective from that time is dated. There were plenty of Turks and Italians in the country then and they did lots of jobs. I didn’t have any sense of a large number of layabouts at that time among the foreign population. If there was, it was definitely well hidden. There has got to be a high level of dissatisfaction with the current state of things among the native Germans. It won’t be pretty when it boils over.

They used to throw “useless eaters” into ovens. Now they make them hammocks.
