Immigration's Role in the German Economy
Germany's economy and public services are increasingly dependent on workers with a migration background, according to new data.
The Federal Statistical Office reports that many key sectors, including health, transport, hospitality, and construction, rely heavily on people with a foreign background.
- 60% of welders and metal-joining technicians have an immigration background.
- 54% of cooks and food production workers in Germany have an immigration background.
Many key sectors – from health and transport to hospitality and construction – would grind to a halt without people with a foreign background.
