There has been a significant rise in the unemployment rate in the country of Germany. The unemployment rate is up by 125% percent. Immigrants compromise a huge rate of the unemployed in Germany. Many of them are uneducated. Only a small percentage of the immigrant population is educated. This makes finding a job harder and more difficult for immigrants.
AP News reported about rise in unemployment in Germany earlier this year in 2020. The unemployment rate rose from 4.9% percent to 5.3% percent. 20,000 higher from last year. (Ref: https://apnews.com/68be30182e3d42ed9b22b17dfb05b6ce)
The number of unemployed in Germany was at 2.2 million in 2019. Currently in 2020, the number of unemployed in Germany is close to 3.6 million. Women compromise a huge portion of the unemployed in Germany. It is not unusual for these women to be unemployed by not working at all. Most of these women have children, most whom are under the age of 6. Many of these children are infants who need care and supervision.(Ref: https://riversofclaret.wordpress.com/2020/01/25/nurse-in-germany-sends-message-to-the-world-an-open-letter-merkel/)
There needs to be a solution for the unemployment rate in Germany. People need jobs.
