Poland ranks as the second most popular destination for German emigrants

Poland is the second most targeted country for German emigrants according to a recent survey by Raphaels-Werke just behind the US. The reason for emigration is in most cases the promise of a better job after returning to Germany. Only one-fourth of those surveyed emigrate because of economic reasons, compared to half two years ago. Germans make up the majority of employees working abroad for such companies as: DaimlerChrysler, Siemens, and Deutsche Bank. Yet, working abroad is not so profitable as before, because an increasing number of companies have cut back on privileges for such employees. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 6)
