Sweden Took in a Whopping 162,000 Refugees Last Year and Only 494 Got Jobs

Only 494 out of the 162,000 refugees who applied for refuge in Sweden in 2015 have gotten a job.

Yet another reason why Europe is being turned into a third world country by refugees.

Refugees are eligible to work while their applications are pending as long as they can show a valid identification document and haven’t been rejected for asylum in the past. A majority of asylum seekers would qualify for a work permit, but the national migration office was only capable of issuing one to one-third due to the high demand.

“There was an incredible amount of people who applied for asylum in Sweden, and for us to be able to register everyone we had to disregard certain areas, and employment was one of them,” Lisa Bergstrand, officer at the Swedish immigration office, told Swedish public broadcaster SVT. “We do what we’ve been told to do.”

Getting migrants off welfare and into the job market has been a problem for most European countries during the ongoing refugee crisis.
