Those are * minimum times, i.e. they don't automatically have rights afterwards, but have to obtain a permission for working first ("Arbeitserlaubnis") * those minimum times prolong as long as immigrants live in special immigrant housing ("Aufnahmeeinrichtung"), i.e. as long es they don't live in normal housing. Which they can only get if the ministry grants them that (in my town there are still quite a share of syrian immigrants living in that kind of housing, not normal housing in town). * additionally, even after that, the employer has to show that a) no German of comparable qualification wanted the job, and b) no EU citizen of comparable qualification wanted the job. Edit: > that study data was from 2016 onwards... There was enough time.. "onwards" is only 2017. Your source only compares 2016 to 2017. 2016 is the year when most syrian refugees arrived in Germany. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%BCchtlingskrise_in_Deutschland_2015/2016#/media/Datei:Zahl_der_Erstantr%C3%A4ge_auf_Asyl_(Eurostat).svg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%BCchtlingskrise_in_Deuts...
