Migrant unemployment continues to be a problem in Germany, with government research revealing the majority of asylum seekers who arrived in 2016 are still unemployed.<\/span><\/p>\n When Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the country\u2019s borders in 2015, international media outlets and organisations including<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the International Monetary Fund (IMF) gushed that the move was sure to bring prosperity to Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n But despite splashing out tens of billions<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of euros a year on newcomers from the third world, a large-scale study<\/a><\/strong><\/span> by the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), which interviewed 7,500 migrants, found that 65 percent are not yet in work.<\/span><\/p>\n Of the migrants who have found employment, 20 percent of these were only \u201cmini-jobs\u201d, according to the study, while n-tv.de reports<\/a><\/strong><\/span> presented \u201csobering\u201d figures revealing the median salary of refugees who have taken up full-time work amounts to just 1,564 euros (\u00a31,371) gross per month.<\/span><\/p>\n The research, which also looked at the health of refugees and asylum seekers in Germany, found that while there were only \u201cminor differences\u201d between the profile of natives and newcomers in terms of physical health, third world migrants were far more likely to suffer from mental illness \u2014 a trend which was especially prominent amongst women.<\/span><\/p>\n Other EU countries have revealed similar trends with regards to refugee and asylum seeker employment, with just 15 percent of migrants granted permission to work in the Netherlands since 2014 currently in a job, as Breitbart London reported<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>last year.<\/span><\/p>\n France: Migrants Make up 40 Percent of Unemployed Youth https:\/\/t.co\/n18I1j25Vd<\/a><\/p>\n — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) January 22, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
