Immigrant Workers Avoid Eastern Germany

Germany has a shortage of skilled workers. The AfD party is popular in eastern Germany. Many foreign skilled workers do not live in the east.

A recent study found a significant difference in where foreign skilled workers live in Germany. One in four skilled workers from abroad live in the western cities of Hamburg, Bremen, and Berlin. However, only nine percent live in Eastern Germany. This shows a problem with attracting workers to the eastern regions. The AfD party is gaining support in these areas, likely due to concerns about economic opportunities. The study highlights a gap between the economic opportunities in the west and east of Germany.
