This dominance is allowed for the comparative advantage over the natives, and their ability to compete. This outcome, however, cannot be found in the German social-economical landscape because Germany pays high wages along with health insurance while in the United State has labor-intensive industries that use cheap labor of immigrants to maintain production at low cost, and keep competition in the market. Therefore, hiring low-skilled workers is more costly and inefficiently produced companies as a result end up replacing low- skilled labor in machine production. The shutdown caused a large number of manufacturing low professional jobs that were mainly for ‘guest workers’ from rural areas in Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Spain, which suffer from unemployment when the guest worker program was shut in 1973 (Drever, Hoffmesiter 2008). This job-scarce environment Germany had created in low paid jobs caused high unemployment rate among those immigrants. By 2005, the rate of unemployment was rating 20.5%. In general, after 1960, the second-generation immigrants’ policymakers and economics did not seek to address the problem nor setting plans and solutions, in the long run, for a successful integration in the German system.
