Arab immigrants most affected
Immigrants to Germany from the Arab world had the highest unemployment rates - particularly people from Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran. "That is surely also because people don't come to Germany for professional reasons, but as refugees, and so find it more difficult to get a professional foothold," said Schäfer.
In absolute terms, most of the unemployed people of foreign origin also belong to the largest immigrant groups in Germany:
140,000 of the 460,000 Turks, for instance. A Turk living in Germany is two or three times more likely to be unemployed than a German.The root for the higher rate of unemployment was clearly the "deficit in qualification," argued Schäfer.
Foreigners often either have no or only very limited educational qualifications, with a quarter of foreigners having no job training qualifications at all, compared to 8 percent among Germans. "The employment agencies have to do more to target young people from abroad," said Schäfer.
Germany is giving so huge benefits, i wouldn't work either
