Abstract: "The Covid-19 pandemic and its containment measures have had considerable consequences for the German labor market. The German economy has predominantly adapted to the COVID-19 shock through short-time work and the shift of economic activities to working from home, as well as other reductions in working hours. However, the impact of the shock has varied across different groups in the labor market: refugees and, to a lesser extent, other migrants were affected more than average by employment reductions and short-time work during the first lockdown. Refugees were also only able to perform their jobs at home to a very limited extent. Important causes of these negative labor market effects are temporary employment contracts, short tenures and differences in employment structures. Furthermore, among refugees and other migrants, unemployment has increased much more than employment has decreased. This can be attributed, among other things, to the discontinuation and interruption of integration and qualification measures due to the pandemic. Immediately after the containment measures of the first lockdown ended, the employment of refugees increased again. However, their employment growth in 2020 was much lower than in previous years."
