Good one in four of them did not graduate high school or similar statements, three out of four had no formal vocational training. After all, 26 percent have a the German Abitur comparable degree, 9 percent a university education. For 61 percent comes under federal agency because of their low qualification only a laborer job in question; 15 percent claimed to have last worked as an expert or specialist.

Raimund Becker still looks after appropriate promote good job opportunities for many refugees. He and way refer this to continue receptive German labor market. Thus registered, the Nuremberg-based Federal Authority in June 665 000 open sites – and 93,000 more than last year. Especially in service occupations continue to incur new jobs.
