Accordingly, has doubled the number of employees subject to social security with EU passport in the last eight years. More and more Employees coming from countries outside the European Union, the so-called third countries, to Germany, has increased significantly. Meanwhile, more than twelve percent of the employed population in Germany, not German citizens.

Many of these around 4.8 million people work in industries that desperately search for employees. "The Trend towards higher qualification under the German stops," says labor market researcher Herbert Brücker in an interview with FOCUS Online. The young German is having more and more school, studies, forms and more and more and leaves a gap less attractive, and skilled occupations. "The middle is missing. It is precisely here that opportunities for migrants are opening,“ said Brücker.

industries that have been suffering for years under the loss of suitable labour, to benefit from this Trend. In the garden - and landscaping, the proportion of foreign workers is, for example, in the case of more than 30 percent. In the Hotel and catering industry, around 290,000 people are employed without a German passport. This is more than one in four people in the entire industry. A leader in the economy that are most reliant on foreign staff, is an activity involving the cleaning of buildings. Nearly every second of the cleaning power in this country has no German passport.

The latest labour market figures show how much the German economy is dependent on the influx of staff from abroad. "If you would bind the in-migration of labour, would in many industries, nothing more", is Brücker convinced. Wages would have to rise to make the Jobs more attractive again – with direct consequences for the prices and thus the consumer.

of The labour market research also refers to the importance of immigration for the social systems: Against the Background of demographic change, pension and unemployment insurance are dependent on the fact that millions of workers pay without the German passport as a subject to social insurance contributions. "Without it, our social system would fall into the wrong location," said Brücker.

Not all industries are equally to foreign staff instructed. Especially in highly regulated Professions and in the public sector, immigrants, due to the still severe comparability of educational attainment is relatively rare in a job, the labour market research Institute. Classical industrial jobs for many workers without a German passport is still unattainable, such as in mechanical engineering. Less than seven percent of all Jobs in this thriving industry will be awarded to workers without a German passport.

Also, the regional differences in Germany are great. "There is a strong North-South divide," says Alexander Kubis, labour market researcher at the IAB. In Bavaria, for example, every eighth acquisition has employed no German citizenship. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, less than five per cent of all foreign workers originate.

But it is not the case that migrants in Germany, only accept Jobs with a low qualification level. Brücker observed "a polarisation of the qualification structure upwards and downwards". Although the number has, especially since in 2015, low - and unskilled immigrants increased. At the same time, the number of academics who come to us from abroad, however, increased significantly.

Not only Immigrant, find a Job, win on the German labour market, the importance of. Because you will find in this country, hardly any staff, also, more and more German companies abroad in search of work forces, especially in the area of transport, agriculture and forestry, as well as in the gastronomy. Twelve percent of all staff-new hires in the year 2018, according to IAB information abroad to search for candidates.

A good development, finds Kubis, because: "We need to get away from the idea that immigration is bad for our economy." The analysis of the labour market, show significantly, like a hundred to get thousands of people without a German passport with your work force of certain industries alive. "Migrants take our jobs so. You protect you even.“
