Abstract: This text discusses the “multiple precariousness” of migrant workers in the pandemic on the basis of empirical studies from Germany and Austria. It focuses on sectors that were publicly criticized for problematic working conditions during the Covid-19 crisis and at the same time experienced an economic boom. In view of the mass infections in such sectors, the question of health challenges arises, which the authors systematize with questions about the informalization of employment, an analysis of the connection between residence regimes, social rights and precariousness, as well as the discussion of the racialization of attributions in the work process. Finally, we look at the potential for change and the participation of workers who are confronted with “multiple precariousness”.
