Foreigners seem to have more luck finding employment here than the Germans….some draw unemployment for years…some just don't seem to try.

Generally you are right, Fisherking.

Although I think saying that foreigners are generally more motivated to work than Germans isn´t really fair. Those foreigners that come here to work naturally are very motivated while lazier foreigners wouldn´t come here in the first place. However it´s also true that for some jobs it´s nearly impossible to find German employees, for example harvesting asparagus. The farmers have to hire Polish people for this work. The government tried to make German unemployed people do this job, but it was a disaster. 90 % of them simply didn´t go there.
