Germany: Foreigners Account for One in Three Long-Term Unemployed

Foreigners now make up at least one in three people considered long-term unemployed in Germany after soaring by over 40 per cent since 2018.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Germany have no job at all for a year or longer. The number has increased in recent years. The proportion of foreign job seekers is increasing even more.

According to a forecast, unemployment in Germany is growing noticeably this year because of the weak economic situation.

Like the economy, the labour market weakens. Investment could change this - but not so fast.

The number of long-term unemployed in Germany has increased in recent years, and the proportion of people without a German passport in this group is also growing significantly. While 23 percent of the long-term unemployed came from abroad in 2018, it is now 33 percent.
