Germany has a strict system for recognizing foreign degrees especially from non-EU countries so many were stuck doing low skill work or unemployed. If they were even aloud to work. Many people waited 2 years just to be authorized to work or even attend official integration courses. It’s not like Germany was ready for the million plus refugees anyways. They lacked enough language programs, housing, or vocational support. A very difficult situation to be in for both sides. Despite all this, it appears 73% of Syrian men are employed 7 years after immigrating to Germany. I learned all of this in 10 minutes on my phone halfway around the world.
