The good news is Germany projects it can absorb as many as half a million refugees a year for some years to come.
The bad news is in a study published by the Institute for Labour Markets that found there is "a very high proportion of people who had completed no professional training".
This means they haven’t actually been to school.

The UN's special representative for migration, Peter Sutherland stated this was no substitute for taking migrants in.
"Buying your way out of this is not satisfactory," he said.
