The majority of Germany’s unemployed have a migration background, amounting to 1.5 million people, according to the Federal Employment Agency. That figure amounts to 54 percent of the 2.8 million people who are unemployed in total as of September 2024.
Those without a German passport account for 39 percent of the unemployed. Non-Germans make up 16 percent of the population. However, when those with a migration background are factored in, this number jumps to 54 percent.
In terms of those who are long-term unemployed, amounting to two years of unemployment, 52 percent have a migration background.

Many of the unemployed feature lower educational levels, but migrants also stand out. While 51 percent of German unemployed lack completed vocational training, for non-Germans, it is 82 percent. For asylum seekers, it is 91 percent lacking such training.
The data was requested and obtained by AfD MP René Springer, who told Bild newspaper: “Those who, after years in Germany, have neither a vocational qualification nor a job are not skilled workers, but rather a permanent burden on our social system.
Overall, migrants are costing Germans approximately €50 billion a year, including social benefits, integration courses, and housing. German states are increasingly taking out more debt as the burden of the foreign population soars on taxpayers.
When it comes to welfare recipients, 62.5 percent of them are foreigners.
Despite these enormous costs, many of Germany’s left-wing parties want even more migrants, including the Left Party, which says 1 million foreigners a year is sustainable.
