German labor market approvals exceeding 500k
The German Employment Agency announced in 2026 that over 521,000 people from outside the European Union received approval to enter the German labor market in 2025, representing a 17% increase compared to 2024, which recorded 446,000 approvals. The care and nursing sectors led with 78,000 approvals, followed by logistics, delivery, and warehousing with more than 70,000, chefs with 45,000, and restaurant services with over 38,000. More than three-quarters of the approvals were linked to work migration pathways, while around 24% were for asylum requests or residence permits through tolerance programs. The agency notes that these figures represent applications and approvals, not the actual number of people who entered Germany and started working.
