Abstract: Despite of integration efforts, the labor market success of migrants in Germany still lags behind that of the autochthonous German population. Using the IAB-SOEP-Migration Sample 2013, differences between first- and second-generation immigrants in Germany regarding labor market success were investigated. For the analysis, the sample was subdivided into groups based on the country of origin. Labor market success was operationalized through employment status, unemployment and income. The analysis of the whole sample indicates, that the second-generation was only better off regarding income. In a subsample, based only on persons who acquired their highest professional or educational degree in Germany, however, the first generation was better off regarding employment status and unemployment. Linear and logistical regression analyses in the subsample indicated no significant effect of the birth1 place on income, but a surprisingeffect on employment: persons with a German degree, who are born in Germany (second-generation migrants), have a significantly lower probability of being employed. Overall, the need for a differentiated evaluation of the German migrant population also without a comparison to the autochthonous German population seems to be useful and necessary.
