Anyway, I think it is a good measure.
And if you read the other ONE million forums, post and opinions and statistics, after few years, or when the family starts, workers are leaving, which is also a market issue, once you have more added value, and you get a better offer somewhere else where you do not have the most mentioned problems (discrimination, racisms, nice ponzi scheme called sozialversicherung), then why to stay? and that dudes, is the real problematic, how many spanish, greek, portuguese, workers will stay once they can go back home?,
Highly skilled workers, we have something in common, great mobility
Is maybe Amazon Germany a good example? ;)
Made it much easier for me (non-EU) to get it.
