Every third unemployed person in Germany is a foreigner without a German passport

The number of long-term unemployed foreigners in Germany continues to grow. According to the Federal Employment Agency, already every third person who is in the status of "long-term unemployed" does not have German citizenship. In 2018, there were about 23% of them, and by 2024 the share increased to 33% - this is about 317 thousand people out of almost 972 thousand registered long-term unemployed. The information was published by the Bundestag deputy from the Alternative for Germany party Rene Springer after a request to the agency. According to official information, more than half of the registered — about 533 thousand people — remain without work for more than two years, 260 thousand-for more than four years. Official reports indicate that the main increase in the number of unemployed people without citizenship is associated with migration in recent years. Many of them are still looking for work. Therefore, among all foreign unemployed people, the share of those who do not work for more than a year is 29%, while among German citizens-38%. Among the foreigners on the list of long-term unemployed, most of them come from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Turks, citizens of Ukraine and Eastern European countries are also visible in the statistics. The general trend shows that the number of unemployed migrants is growing, even if their share among all unemployed people does not look critically high. #geemany #eu #Syria #Afghanistan #Iraq 🇪🇺 Keep up with the latest Star Union News  🖥
