German companies not hiring refugees, by Ann Corcoran, 9/14/16 Invasion
of Europe news….
Angela Merkel
was telling anyone who would listen that Germany would welcome any Middle
Easterners and Africans who could get there. She wanted to be a
humanitarian, but she claimed Germany needed more workers as well. Looks
like she was very wrong about that. In fact, this issue of bringing in
hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers (as the US is doing too) is a
ticking time bomb!
Merkel, fighting
for her political life. You know what struck me so funny, as I sorted through
photos of Frau Merkel, is that like Hillary she has some astounding facial
expressions. Could she have the same affliction that Hillary has, whatever that
is?
What with innovation
in the workplace requiring fewer such workers and welfare systems being
strained worldwide, what will happen to all these unhappy foreigners who have
neither cultural roots nor upward mobility in their new countries.
It continues to escape me why this migration
project, pushed by the international Left and supported by leaders like Merkel,
is humane in any way!
From Reuters (hat tip: Joanne): Germany’s
blue-chip companies will have to explain to Chancellor Angela Merkel on
Wednesday why they have managed to hire fewer than 100 refugees after around a
million arrived in the country last year.
Merkel, fighting for her political life over
her open-door policy, has summoned the bosses of some of Germany’s biggest companies to Berlin
to account for their lack of action and exchange ideas about how they can do
better.
Many of the
companies say a lack of German-language skills, the inability of most refugees
to prove any qualifications, and uncertainty about their permission to stay in
the country mean
A survey by
Reuters of the 30 companies in Germany’s DAX stock market index found they
could point to just 63 refugee hires in total. Several of the 26 firms who
responded said they considered it discriminatory to ask about applicants’
migration history, so they did not know whether they employed refugees or how
many.
Of the 63
hires, 50 are employed by Deutsche Post DHL, which said it applied a “pragmatic
approach” and deployed the refugees to sort and deliver letters and parcels.
“Given that
around 80 percent of asylum seekers are not highly qualified and may not yet
have a high level of German proficiency, we have primarily offered jobs that do
not require technical skills or a considerable amount of interaction in
German,” a spokesman said by email.
What is clear is that early optimism that the
wave of migrants could boost economic growth and help ease a skills shortage in
Germany – where the working-age population is projected to shrink by 6 million
people by 2030 – is evaporating.
