While the article is pretty interesting it doesn't address one big point. What to do with people who really can't find any job? In a few months I will be a Diplomkaufmann (business graduate). Right now there are hardly any jobs in my branch (the crisis is still there) and I'm "overqualified" for any lower jobs I would apply to (I see that at some friends of mine who have already graduated and who couldn't get jobs as a business graduates and also no lower jobs because of their "overqualifications").
So what to do? There aren't any jobs for my qualification and German bosses won't employ me for lower ones.
You see, sometimes it is not a lack of education or willingness if someone doesn't get a job (though I hope to get one of course, even if it's just being a pizza delivery guy). What should we do with those people after five years. Let them live on the streets?
I agree that we need to put more pressure on the unwilling and should definitely make sure that we get more qualified than unqualified immigrants but I still think that there should be at least some basic net for those who really try but simply can't get a job.
