Meanwhile. Merkel justifying letting in millions of young Muslim savages with the excuse Germany needs the extra workers has been proven to be balony. 2.5 years after the "invasion" more than 90% of them are still collecting well paid welfare.
You wouldn't, once again, happen to have a source confirming that? Maybe even a source that's not almost two years out of date? I've seen newspaper articles saying that around 90% of those arriving in 2015 were out of work - but that was back in 20andfucking16!
You do your own research! Correct my 90% if you dare!
You didn't do
any research. At best, you diffusely remember reading something back in 2016 (when those people had only been in the country for half a year) and assumed it still holds.
You don't need to understand German to understand the info graphic at the top of page twelve in
this document by the German federal labour agency. It says that in January this year, 19% of Syrians , 26% of Afghanis and 40% of Pakistanis are gainfully employed - those are percentages across the entire adult population, including students, stay-at-home moms and chronically ill individuals etc., not percentages among those seeking work. The comparable figure for Germans is 67%.
Caveat: Those figures are across
all citizens from the respective countries irrespective of when they arrived of of their type of residence status. This may also be the reason why the figures look worse for Syrians than for other countries of origin: While almost all Syrians in Germany are refugees who came in the last 3 years, proportionally many more of the (smaller) Pakistani population have had more time to integrate. Even so, your figures are a pure fantasy even when we limit ourselves to those who came then.
Here's more data (careful: 500 page pdf). Looking at page 89, it says that out of 698,950 Syrian residents at the turn of the year, 79,745 had been in Germany for less than a year and another 567,795 between one and four years. Between them, those make up more than 92.5% of all Syrians in Germany. So even if 100% straight of earlier arrivals were gainfully employed (a very unrealistic figure), the the numbers don't add up unless at least 13% of those recent arrivals are too!
At this point, angelo, there is one and only one consistent move in this conversation for you if you want to keep up the appearance of being interested in an honest exchange: Copy and paste the following lines, and post them under your name, without the quotes:
"I can see that I was very wrong. I cannot explain why I was so confident something I read on a dubious blog a year was (a) accurate then, and even more (b) still valid today. I know I can do better than this and promise to check my facts more carefully in the future before spreading them around."
