In Germany, more and more refugees are involved in the work process

Berlin, 21 August (TASR) – More than 300,000 refugees from the eight countries where refugees migrate to Germany have joined the workforce in Germany most recently last year. According to AP, the German Federal Labor Office (BA) reported Tuesday.

The head of this office, Detlef Scheele, told DPA that this figure was slightly higher than expected. According to BA data, in May this year 300,000 people from Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan and Somalia were hired in Germany, which was 103,000 more than in the previous year.

In July, more than 187,000 refugees were registered as unemployed in Germany, a figure that has been more or less constant in recent months. One of the main priorities of the German authorities remains for German refugees to learn German.

In Germany more than one million refugees and migrants arrived in Germany at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015-2016, but the number of newcomers has fallen sharply.
