In the last two years 1.2 million people have arrived in Germany seeking asylum. New government figures show that getting into work takes time.
A total of 34,000 refugees have found work in Germany over the past 12 months, the figures released on Monday by the government's Institute for Labour Research (IAB) showed.
Almost quarter (22 percent) of those who have found work are on temporary contracts.
The numbers are for refugees out of the eight most important countries of origin, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea.
