      According to an analysis, more than half of the refugees who came to Germany in 2015 were employed in 2021.

      Did you read it? This is horrific. Six years later, and barely more than half are working.

        You claimed

        people who are illiterate and unlikely to ever work

        That’s just not true. Also 41% are working a job for that they are overqualified, so much for illiterate.

        Also, It’s a huge pain in the ass to get your degrees and titles recognised in Germany. Even Doctors returning from Switzerland have to wait several months up to a year to get their certificates recognised

          This is what I wrote:

          Germany needs workers, not people who are illiterate and unlikely to ever work. Germany has accepted a LOT of people of the latter

          I didn’t say “all”. I said “a lot.” According to your link, there are a lot of people who are not working.

          Also, It’s a huge pain in the ass to get your degrees and titles recognised in Germany. Even Doctors returning from Switzerland have to wait several months up to a year to get their certificates recognised

          This is a meme. Clearly most refugees are not doctors and engineers. I challenge you to provide a source.

            It was within the article, as for the Facharzt needing to wait so long to get it’s documents recognised, I’ve met him today in the university hospital
