A new study from Germany: only 7000 of of the 1.1 million migrants that came in the last two years have some form of employment now (0.6% employment quota).

However, the number of employed asylum seekers with a maximum of 7000 nationwide is negligible, considering that since 2015, more than 1.1 million refugees have come to Germany.

You need a work permit to work in Germany, which is exceedingly difficult to obtain for an assylum seeker (specifically tailored to avoid people from using the system for economic migration.)

 

Also: asylum seekers != all migrants.

You are allowed to get a work permit three month after you applied for asylum in Germany. If you got asylum of refugee status you can work immediately.

The article states language barriers & no certificates of skills as the biggest hurdle.

"The result: Apart from a lack of training, the German language is the greatest obstacle for job-seeking refugees."
