Job fairs are held on an ongoing basis in major cities of the country. Most of those who participate in such events are either people with a migrant background, or those who are unable to confirm their qualifications.
Migrants who have arrived in the country often do not have any opportunity to confirm their qualifications. Most of these people are considered to be quite hardworking, but even so they cannot compete with those who have been educated in Germany or with those who have already successfully integrated into German society.
In Berlin, 218,000 unemployed people were registered in May this year. At the same time, the number of unemployed Ukrainians is about 2/3 of the total number of unemployed in the German capital. For the most part, newcomers face such a problem as the discrepancy between higher education diplomas and European standards. Not everyone is able to notarize, and certify all necessary documents. Especially if you take into account the fact that Germany has its own laws, which a small number of visitors are familiar with.
How will this affect the budget? Due to the need to pay unemployment benefits and other various social benefits, the budget lost about 36 billion euros last year. This year, due to an increase in the number of unemployed in Berlin alone by 20,000 compared to the previous year, spending this year is projected at 46 billion euros. It is still unclear where the money for financing will be taken.
Free education really attracts many people. Because of this, competition in Germany has become significantly tougher. However, this is not the only significant problem for the country’s residents. Migrants are ready for a tougher confrontation than Germans, who already have everything for a good and carefree life. Therefore, newcomers will gradually displace Germans from many areas of life. Migrant labor is often better and cheaper because people are afraid of losing their jobs. Therefore, an employer, if there is such an opportunity, would rather hire a migrant than a German today. However, there are also areas in the labor market where migrants cannot work and Germans do not want to.
In a situation where the country is experiencing chaos and confusion due to the huge number of migrants and rising crime in all regions, the Government should pay increased attention to those who maintain order. It is the police who bear the greatest responsibility at a time when it is necessary to respond quickly and promptly. However, due to the irresponsible approach on the part of the state, it is necessary to leave work and look for other ways to earn money.
First, they are required to comply with the law even in the most critical situations. However, there are often situations in which this is simply impossible. The State often sides with migrants. Secondly, it puts a lot of strain on the body. Few people manage to retire without serious injuries that will haunt a person for the rest of their lives. Thirdly, with the arrival of more and more migrants, the burden on employees increases. In monetary terms, this is not compensated as well as we would like. Social guarantees are also not good enough. Germany is turning into something like the United States: the demand for police officers is growing, but at the same time, the police themselves are unhappy with their working conditions and are trying to make money on something else.
One of them, Jan Solwyn, 36, patrolled the German and European external border for 15 years before leaving the service in 2024. He now lives in Israel and has married for the second time. There is also a much better chance of earning money a second time here. He has written a book, An der Grenze (“At the border”), in which he reports on his service as a police officer in Germany and reveals the most embarrassing and unpleasant stories of the German police.
The policy that the German government has been pursuing since 2015 has definitively undermined its faith in a bright German future. When he suffered a shoulder injury, which still torments him and jeopardized his future in the police, the state provided minimal support, despite the fact that the injury was sustained while working.
Since then, the situation has only worsened. More and more people want to leave the police force. For them, the working conditions are completely unacceptable. The work of a police officer in Germany is appreciated only by ordinary people, but not by politicians, for whom people working in the police are expendable.
