| It's difficult to compare unemployment rats international, because the definition of unemployment is different. But in a comparison of national rates Bamberg has few unemployment. Germany: 6.8% Bavaria: 4.0% Franconia: 4.4% Upper Franconia: 4.6%. Bamberg/Forchheim: 3.8%. Economics say that is near full employment. Best city is Eichstätt with 1.2% In general it isn'T difficult to find a job. But it depends on the qualification and if someone has obstacles (lack of knowledge of the German language, drug addiction, dissabilty, indebtness, young children with a lack of time to work). In difference to many other states, we have no unemployment of young people. The reason is the "Duales System" of the vocational training. The "Auszubildende" (trainees") get a contract with an enterprise, work in the enterprise and visit a vocational school too. For trainees it isn't the minimal wage. They get a special training allowance, that is different in branches and rises from the first to the third year. Average: around 800 Euro per monath. Around 700 Euro for a cook. 500 Euro for a hairdresser, over 1000 Euro for a a mason. Yes, many migrants of the first generation (refugees etc.) (most of them with bad knowledge of the German language and without an education, would agree to work for lower wages. But this is now forbidden. The mininum wage is law for all workers. If I would cynical I would say, the minimum wage is an idea of the unions (with all their German workers) to prevent the employment of migrants. Or: they have to work illegal under worse conditions and illegal. The minmum wages in Europe: http://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/37401/umfrage/gesetzliche-mindestloehne-in-der-eu/ In Contrast to Great Britain, France etc. Germany has borders to countries with low (minimal) wages as Poland and Czechia. One can imagine that this is a big problem p.e. in Görlitz or in cities and villages near Czechia. But near the border to Germany the wages in Poland and Czechia are maybe higher as the national minimum wage. |
